Graduate Student Research Papers

This paper is primarily concerned with one example of Johann Sebastian Bach's instrumental style--the "Brandenburg Concerto No. 2." The style of this work was influenced by the musical resources known to Bach, compositional techniques, and the capabilities of the instruments in the baroque period. The manner in which Bach used these resources and the integrity of what he had to say are evidences of his individual genius.
