Seller Comments: Evening in the Palace of Reason opens with the account of an historic meeting between two multifaceted geniuses: J. S. Bach, exhausted from a difficult journey across Europe, has come to visit his son at the court of Frederick the Great. Bach is summoned unexpectedly to the Palace, and there, before an audience of musicians and nobles, Frederick gives Bach a short but cleverly written musical theme. The King 'requests' (kings don't make requests! ) that Bach improvise a fugue in three parts based on this theme. Bach has had no time to prepare, and Frederic's melody has been composed in such a way as to make it resist the rules of fugue, a very technical-even mathematical-style of music. The intent of Frederick's challenge is to shame both Bach and his theistic cosmology before the whole court of Prussia, to demonstrate the superiority of Reason over Belief. James R. Gaines's masterful storytelling begins with the story above, then carefully examines the lives of Bach and Frederick before disclosing the result of the challenge. Bach-disregarded during his lifetime as being hopelessly behind the fashion-and Frederick the Great-called the 'Philosopher King' by his contemporaries-uncannily embody the conflict between Reformation and Enlightenment values in sixteenth-century Europe. Includes a list of suggested music by J.S. Bach, his son Carl, and Frederick the Great. 368 pp. New Availability: Ships 2-3 days |
