Acknowledgements

 

I would like to express my deep gratitude to my supervisor in this project, associate professor Jarl Strømdal at NTNU, who is also a great friend. Marianne Baudouin Lie, Derek Gripper, Tormod Dalen, and Wolfgang Plagge have all shared helpful thoughts along the way, for which I am most grateful – not least because they all know so much more about Bach’s music than I can ever hope to learn.
