Synopsis
In the depths of winter in 1705 the young Johann Sebastian Bach, then unknown as a composer and earning a modest living as a teacher and organist, set off on a long journey by foot to Lübeck to visit the composer Dieterich Buxterhude, a distance of more than 250 miles. This journey and its destination were a pivotal point in the life of arguably the greatest composer the world has yet seen. Lübeck was Bach’s moment, when a young teacher with a reputation for intolerance of his pupils’ failings began his journey to become the master of the Baroque.

About the Author
Horatio Clare is a critically-acclaimed author and journalist. His first book, 'Running for the Hills', won the Somerset Maugham Award; "the prose equivalent of a collection of poems by Ted Hughes, or even Wordsworth," said the Sunday Times. His second book, 'Truant' is "a stunningly-written memoir", according to the Irish Times, which urged: "Give your stoner friend a copy, it might just save their life." 'A Single Swallow' ("lyrical, often funny, and arresting" - Daily Telegraph) was shortlisted for the Dolman Travel Book of the Year: it follows the migration of barn swallows from South Africa to Horatio's home in South Wales. His novella 'The Prince's Pen' is based on a tale from the Mabinogion. "Darkly playful" said the Times Literary Supplement, "...creates a new brand of magic potent enough to resonate with the sensibilities of a modern age." 'Down to the Sea in Ships' won the Stanford-Dolman Travel Book of the Year 2015; Horatio's first book for children, 'Aubrey and the Terrible Yoot' won the Brandford Boase Award 2016 for best debut children's book.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Jacket and maps by Ed Kluz (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. Some minuscule edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, not price clipped (£12.00), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy, looks unread. 96pp, illustrated, illustrated endpapers. 'Something of his Art' is Horatio Clare's recreation of the long walk that J. S. Bach took in the depths of winter in 1705, his long walk to Lubeck across northern Germany, visualising the light, landscape and wildlife the young, and as yet unknown composer would have seen. 'Something of his Art' is an imaginative evocation of what the twenty year old composer would have seen and felt on his long journey, a sustained visualisation of the landscape, light and wildlife of early eighteenth century Germany. Bach becomes Clare's walking companion, a vestigial, but real presence as he acutely observes the season and places he passes through. A beautiful and scarce book. Seller Inventory # 009118
