Dale A. Jorgenson Ordre des livres

Jorgenson (formerly music, Truman State U.) draws on his research of the personal papers of the musician, theologian, and historian as well as Anton's published works to form this erudite biography, which stresses Anton's Christian faith as well as his musical and written achievements. We learn of Anton's family, his musical education, his decision to become a pastor, his place in the German musical community, his years under the Nazis, and eventual imprisonment after the war. Jorgenson includes an English translation of Anton's Manifesto of 1946 and a list of his published works. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

In this remarkable biography, Dale A. Jorgenson discloses the great legacy left by Hauser for future generations. Hauser's finest contribution was his achievement in cataloging all of Bach's known works and his collecting and disseminating for live performance all the original manuscripts and authentic copies of Bach's work he could obtain - materials he than made available to the Bach Society, founded in Leipzig in 1850.
