"Ode to Johann Sebastian Bach" chronicles the most dramatic episode in the Bach historical record, a violent altercation which occurred between Johann Sebastian and an inept student Bassoonist, Anton Geyersbach. The narrative follows him to Lubeck where he meets the Dietrich Buxtehude and his lovely daughter and aspiring female composer Anna Margareta, who potentially holds the key to Bach's future. The most profound artist in the Western Tradition, yet the most ordinary seeming, Bach is a mystery to us still. This imaginative novel explores the unknown moments of this luminary giant of European culture.
