Bach’s Library

Quicksilver’s unique concert features composers whose scores were available to J.S. Bach through some impressively stocked libraries. What music influenced Bach’s extraordinary compositions? Rosenmüller’s, Buxtehude’s and Kerll’s fantastical 17th-century German sonatas, Couperin’s elegant French suites, and Vivaldi’s lively Italian concertos certainly came into play.
