Illustrated talk by Walter Emery
Fifty years ago Albert Schweitzer elaborated and popularised the theory that much of Bach's music is symbolic. Since then, critics have tended to divide into two groups, one going even further than Schweitzer and attributing to Bach an interest in numerology, and the other feeling that the symbolism in Bach's music has been much exaggerated.
