Synopsis
This book argues that the Brandenburg Concertos are best understood, not as an arbitrary collection of unrelated examples of 'pure' instrumental music, but as a carefully compiled and meaningfully organized set. Bach's concertos challenged existing musical and social hierarchies without, however, calling for progressive political action. This study also underlines the the religious character of the 'secular' concertos, and their relation to Bach's output of vocal music for the Lutheran Liturgy. One important message of Lutheranism, in this interpretation, is that the hierarchies of this world will not be present in the next, and no longer necessary. In light of this philosophy, Bach's music instructs the listener in some of the ways they may cope with this world.
