Books by Johann Friedrich Agricola

This was the first attempt at a full length biography of Bach and a critical apreciation of his work as composer and performer. Translated by Walter Emery in 1941-1942 with introductory notes and two appendices, but not published in his lifetime. Walter Emery, musicologist, specialised in the works J.S. Bach.

Agricola published Introduction to the Art of Singing in Germany, in 1757 which consisted of a treatise by the Italian singing teacher, Tosi, to which Agricola added his own commentary. This edition, translated with introduction by the singer Julianne Baird, makes Agricola's work available in English.
