Summary:
"Moreover, as Forkel's commentary makes explicit, the most essential evidence of dance in Bach's music is rhythmic and metrical, and not specifically melodic and harmonic. These latter aspects are those that have tended to be privileged above rhythm in the criticism and analysis of western art music"-- Provided by publisher.
