An excerpt from the album notes written by Daniel Felsenfeld reads... "What is evident from this robust collection of pieces—as expertly played by Mellissa Marse, who takes and holds the stage in every instance—is not just the arithmetic clarity of Bach but more how much fun and liberty we feel him taking. It is easy to put this composer on a pedestal—the pouty philosopher Emily Cioran took effusiveness up to eleven saying, famously: “Bach’s music is the only argument proving the creation of the Universe cannot be regarded as a complete failure. Without Bach, God would be a complete second-rate figure.”—and yet to do so is to deprive the work of its secret power, its brio, its exuberance, its messy cleverness within consistent forms. So enjoy—It is what the work is there for."
