Tommy Pearson continues to try to solve some of Bach's musical puzzles in A Musical Offering, a collection of 13 works consisting of ricercars - elaborate compositions in the fugue style - and canons on a theme given to the composer by Frederick the Great of Prussia in 1747. He enlists the help of expert George Pratt.
