  Drawing upon an array of sources from archives in Leipzig, Dresden and Halle, this work illuminates culture in Leipzig before and during J S Bach's time spent in the city. It shows that high Baroque culture emerged through a combination of traditional frameworks and practices, and an infusion of change that set in from around 1680.
