Reviews
"Absolutely grossing reading...I loved every minutiae of it. I recommend it to all with a bent ear." -- Pinchas Zukerman "As with all of Peter Schickele's musical musings, this is superb humor reflecting a boundless knowledge of the world of music." -- Victor Borge An "eminently readable and vastly enjoyable book." -- Isaac Stern "But how can I explain to outsiders the humor so delicate, the mirth evanescent, the je ne sais quoi of this handsome and hilarious book?" -- Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times
Synopsis
What little-known son of a famous genius has been called- "A musical blight" "A one-man plague" "History's most justifiably neglected composer" "The worst musician ever to trod organ pedals" "A pimple on the face of music" In this long-awaited hoax, possibly the most unimportant piece of scholarship in over two thousand years, Professor Peter Schickele has finally succeeded in ripping the veil of obscurity from the most unusual -- to put it kindly -- composer in the history of music- P.D.Q. Bach, the last and unquestionably the least of the great Johann Sebastian Bach's many children., What little-known son of a famous genius has been called: "A musical blight" "A one-man plague" "History's most justifiably neglected composer" "The worst musician ever to trod organ pedals" "A pimple on the face of music" In this long-awaited hoax, possibly the most unimportant piece of scholarship in over two thousand years, Professor Peter Schickele has finally succeeded in ripping the veil of obscurity from the most unusual -- to put it kindly -- composer in the history of music: P.D.Q.
