"Now you can master Bach's most beautiful prelude--even if you've never sat down at a piano before! Do you have a piano (or keyboard) and forty-five minutes every day? Then spend the next six weeks with acclaimed concert pianist James Rhodes. By the end, you'll be able to perform Bach's Prelude no. 1 in C major [BWV 846]--no prior musical experience required! Rhodes reveals How to play the piano step by step--how to read the treble and bass clefs as well as sharp and flat notes, and then how to practice--before teaching the prelude in easy, bite-size segments. His method is free of tedious drills, and filled with inspiration: 'If listening to music is soothing for the soul, then playing music is achieving enlightenment.' Before you know it, not only will you have learned how to play one of Bach's most beloved masterpieces--you will also have unleashed your creativity, exercising your mind (and fingers) and accomplishing something you never thought possible. Bravo! Sheet music included, so you can start today!"--Back cover.

The great passion : a novel / by Runcie, James,1959-author.;
In 1727, Stefan Silbermann is a grief-stricken thirteen-year-old, struggling with the death of his mother and his removal to a school in distant Leipzig. Despite his father's insistence that he try not to think of his mother too much, Stefan is haunted by her absence, and, to make matters worse, he's bullied by his new classmates. But when the school's cantor, Johann Sebastian Bach, takes notice of his new pupil's beautiful singing voice and draws him from the choir to be a soloist, Stefan's life is permanently changed. Over the course of the next several months, and under Bach's careful tutelage, Stefan's musical skill progresses, and he is allowed to work as a copyist for Bach's many musical compositions. But mainly, drawn into Bach's family life and away from the cruelty in the dorms and the lonely hours of his mourning, Stefan begins to feel at home. When another tragedy strikes, this time in the Bach family, Stefan bears witness to the depths of grief, the horrors of death, the solace of religion, and the beauty that can spring from even the most profound losses.
