- “How to play Bach" by Jozsef Eötvös applies primarily to guitarists and guitar students, presenting an analysis of all works which Bach wrote for the lute. It offers an excellent survey over the (original) manuscripts upon which all (guitar ) arrangements are based. Eötvös's explanations on articulation in general along with their particular application to the guitar are illustrative, as well as his considerations on ornamentation and phrasing in Bach's music and their practice on the guitar.
Jozef Eötvös is one of the most respected Classical Guitar performers and teachers worldwide, a highly respected expert on Bach; his transcription and CD of the Goldberg Variations more than twenty years ago reserved him a place in the Pantheon of Classical Guitar. His book " How to play Bach" is a most valuable contribution to guitarists and students involved with Bach's music. Required reading for all guitarists.

"Eötvös József is one of the finest guitarists alive today. His debut work was no less than an adaptation of J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations for one guitar. It won him critical acclaim and praise from all corners of the world. This task was considered impossible up until that point. Eotvos would not rest on those accolades though, he has just recently completed Bach's "Art of the Fugue" for two specially tuned eight string guitars. These two works, along with two volumes of Chopin's piano works and Brahms' Hungarian Dances, have helped to expand the repertoire of the classical guitar, while his transcriptions of Bach's lute works are among the best available. When one hears Jozsef Eotvos perform, one is immediately taken not just by his flawless technique, but by his sensitive interpretations. Every nuance, every detail is given the attention it deserves. The voice leading is natural and his phrasing is expressive, dynamic and alive."

My dear friends, the english version of my book is released! You can buy it at: www.gms-eotvos.com/store
Here is a part from the Preface of the book:
"... This book is not the usual umpteenth re-release, enumerating the life and works of the great German master, J. S. Bach. Those interested in such information should buy themselves another book. Here, I address those who would like to rethink some of the old seemingly clear and often assumed unquestionable roots on a deeper level and in an as yet unfamiliar way, and those who are not afraid of confronting new ideas and treading new pathes. Change and the path of change is always difficult. This is especially true if someone has been playing and listening to these works for a long time. I, myself have gone through this painful experience, as I have already mentioned, and therefore I know what I am talking about! For this reason, I have tried, as far as possible, to read these new ideas carefully, to support them with examples and to pass on to practising musicians, rather than a book about theory, a practical guide and handbook. I think that the significance of these ideas goes beyond the sphere of those interested in classical guitar. So far, in my presentations, I have found them able to provide new, interesting stimuli to other early music instrumentalists. Therefore, if you like baroque music or Bach?s works but are not a guitarist, don?t put this book down! Read it! It will prove interesting!I wish you all an enjoyable and a useful read! ..."

11/11/2012

"...In this book, I have not attempted to, nor could I even try to address all the issues surrounding this topic, as one could indeed fill many a volume by seeking to do so. Rather, I would like to examine one small portion of Bach’s instru
mental works: his lute pieces. I will consider some aspects of this strand of Bach’s music which I consider to be particularly important in an attempt to offer readers some advice, and put forward some new opinions and reflections on the individual pieces. In many instances I will go beyond outreaches Bach’s lute pieces, and in some cases, the Baroque music as well. Some areas of this subject will not be dealt with extensively, therefore if you are particularly interested in a specific issue please turn to the bibliography where you will find references to specific books and publications that are devoted to a specific topic. One of the topics that I have not addressed is Bach’s system of ornamentation. However I have tackled some questions and interpretation problems which as far as I am aware have not yet been dealt with in other publications, such as harmonic and melodic movement in Bach’s music and how this relates to accents, part-layering, and the resulting implied polyphony.

These latter questions were my principal motivation for writing this book; to make the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, one of the greatest geniuses of European music history, more understandable for guitar players, other musicians, and last but not least, the audience. I can only hope that my work will bring Bach, with his thoughts, music and the mentality of his age one step closer to all of us."
