Book excerpt: Excerpt from Touch, Phrasing and Interpretation The question Of how Bach's fugues should be rightly interpreted on the piano is one which is still at issue. The various Opinions on the subject already set forth are here examined, and practical suggestions are made on many aspects of this most interesting question. The chief Educational Editions of Piano Classics, with their varied advantages and comparative values, are discussed at some length. This is a subject which has suffered rather from lack of attention than from over - discussion in the past. And it is to be feared that this lack Of attention is in some measure a reflection Of the attitude, upon a very important subject, shown by not a few even of our leading teachers. An attempt is here made to dissipate illiberal prejudice and to induce larger-minded and more scholarly views.
