This work analyzes the contributions of three pivotal composers—Johann Sebastian Bach, Frederic Chopin, and Richard Strauss—each representing distinct stylistic shifts in the evolution of music. Farnsworth seeks to highlight their individual significances and how each serves as a link in the broader chain of musical history. The opening portion of the book lays the groundwork for this examination by dedicating the work to Farnsworth's teacher and mentor, Hermann Kotzschmar. It introduces Bach first, describing him as the foundational figure of modern music, whose works evolved from historical musical traditions. The text also emphasizes the interconnectedness of music's past and future, suggesting that the innovations brought forth by each of these composers were inextricably linked to their precedents and successors. By establishing this framework, Farnsworth prepares readers for a detailed exploration of Bach's life and the lasting impact of his compositions on subsequent generations of musicians.
