520    "Bach's Art of Fugue and Musical Offering is the first 
       comprehensive study of two closely related masterworks of 
       the late Baroque fugal style. The initial volume in a 
       series of American Bach Society Guides produced in 
       collaboration with Oxford University Press, it unpacks 
       these famously cerebral collections as endlessly 
       fascinating material for study and play. Intended for a 
       general readership, this compact guide also summarizes for
       practitioners a considerable body of knowledge about these
       singular works. Bach scholar and keyboard player Matthew 
       Dirst explains their idiosyncratic musical language in 
       initial chapters while reviewing how both projects took 
       shape during Bach's final decade, as he reoriented his 
       creative energies around capstone works of various kinds. 
       The most systematic of these, the Art of Fugue and Musical
       Offering reflect his lifelong fascination with learned 
       counterpoint, as demonstrated in elaborate series of 
       fugues and canons in both and in an unusually intricate 
       trio sonata in the latter. Later chapters provide 
       commentary on individual movements and groups of pieces 
       and on the historical reception of this music, including 
       its impact on other disciplines. Recurring themes include 
       Bach's diligent exploration of contrapuntal types and 
       techniques, his embrace of musical games of various sorts,
       and his creative assimilation of diverse musical styles"--
