The author indicates the ways that the reader can choose to expand and deepen their ideas about the WTC, offers an analysis of almost all performing approaches to this music: melodic, rhythmic, harmonic, interpretive, etc., which will undoubtedly benefit both a practicing musician as well as the teacher. A common thread throughout the chapters is the idea that any question, any problem, any feeling must be examined, tested and experienced by the interpreter, and not taken for granted or imposed by authority, conventional wisdom or tradition.
