Description

A tale of passion and obsession from a philosophy professor who learns to play Bach on the piano as an adult.

Dan Moller grew up listening to heavy metal in teh Boston suburbs. But one day, something shifted when he dug out his mothers record of The Art of the Fugue, inexplicably wedged between ABBAs greatest hits and Kenny Rogers. Moller was fixated on Bach ever since.

In The Way of Bach, hedraws us into fresh and often improbably hilarious things about Bach and his music. Did you know the Goldberg Variations contain a song about his mom cooking too much cabbage?

Just what is so special about Bach's music? Why does it continue to resonate even today? What can modern Americanssteeped in pop culturecan learn from European craftsmanship? And, because it is Bach, why do some people see a connection between music and God?

By turn witty and though-provoking, Moller infuses The Way of Bach with philosophical considerations about how music and art enable us to contemplate lifes biggest questions.
