As the famed writer and performer Judy Tarling says in her book The Weapons of
Rhetoric, “For centuries, musicians and orators have recognised and encouraged the
use of accent and rhythm as essential for perfect communication. To ‘make music speak’
is the ultimate aim of both composers and performers alike, and in the words of Quantz
were ‘essential to becoming masters of the hearts of their listeners.’’’ The ideas and
concepts of rhetoric have produced music of unrivalled beauty, depth, and intelligence
by many, however the sheer inventiveness of Bach’s music separates him from all others.
From his miraculous G minor Fuga for solo violin, showing how polyphonic music could
be written on a monophonic instrument, to the 6 part Ricercar from his Musical Offering,
ending with his much loved Double Violin Concerto, no other composer in history
wielded the weapons of rhetoric with as much skill, grace and heart as J.S. Bach.
