    Kirkendale The Source For Bach's "Musical Offering": The "Institutio Oratoria" of Quintilian

    Uploaded by

    dbarreda
    THE EXTERNAL GENESIS of the Musical Offering is so familiar that only the briefest summary need be given here. From several early sources' we know that Bach, during his audience with Frederick the Great on May 7, 1747, improvised a three-part fugue on a theme given to him by the king (the so-called thema regium), much to the delight of all persons present. Bach scholars regard this fugue as the embryo of the Musical Offering, later notated as one of its two ricercars.
