Timothy Albrecht, Professor Emeritus of Music
“Exploring the Magic of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier”
This past June, when Candler faculty members raised a glass to toast Timothy Albrecht’s retirement, the guest of honor couldn’t attend.
He was on sabbatical in Vienna, finishing his latest book, Exploring the Magic of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier, and preparing to lecture and perform at the Italian Bach Society Conference in Turin, Italy. He is home again now, and today, in the lovely venue of Governors’ Hall in the Miller-Ward Alumni House, he will lecture and perform for us, his Emory friends and colleagues. He will share his passion for this extraordinary collection of preludes and fugues, illustrating Bach’s pedagogical genius by playing some Well-Tempered selections and demonstrating and discussing the “magic” that has made them so much admired down through the ages since they were first composed.
