[Cage, John. (1912–1992)] Bach, Michael. (b. 1958). FINGERBOARDS & OVERTONES: Pictures, Basics and Model for a New Way of Cello Playing. Bilder Grundlagen und Entwurfe eines neuen Cellospiels.. Munich: Edition Spangenberg. 1991. Quarto, 12 inches high by 9-1/4 inches wide. A 40-leaf softcover book bound in printed light gray wraps, with a 4-page cover sheet and 23 full-page plates and a transparent foil laid loose in a tan cardboard folding tray case, titled and illustrated on the front cover. There is slight wear to the front joint of the box with some minor rubbing and a faint pencil mark to the cover and a break to the top of the box's rear hinge. Profuse textual illustrations and musical annotations illustrate the book and folded cover sheet. The work is further illustrated with 45 finger boards reproduced in monochrome from Japanese ink on pasteboard drawings. These are printed on 23 leaves. And also illustrated with 6-3/4 inch high by 29-1/2 inch wide "Transparent Foil with Cello String Measurements" laid onto a folded sheet of white cardboard. Near fine.
Dedicated to John Cage who composed "One8 for Michael Bach", here reproduced in facsimile on page 2 of the cover sheet. With a brief essay "About Michael Bach" by Alexander Ochs printed in both English and German on facing pages of the book.
Laid in an envelope at the front is a Typed Letter Signed by Nikolaus Albrecht of Edition Spangenberg, addressed to Mr. Lehmann-Haupt, an editor of the New York Times Book Review.
"Cellist, composer and visual artist Michael Bach, also known as Michael Bach Bachtischa, was born in Worms, Germany, April 17, 1958. He studied cello with Pierre Fournier and Janos Starker, then embarked on a career of international concert activity as well as performances on radio, recordings and television. He made numerous significant contributions to the art of contemporary cello performance; his publication Fingerboards & Overtones proposes new ideas concerning overtones and harmonics and is considered a pioneering work in the literature on contemporary technique. In 1990 he developed the Curved Bow (BACH.Bogen) for the cello, violin and viola, which, in polyphonic playing, permits the simultaneous sounding of multiple strings, with the high arch of the bow allowing for full, sustained chords. Rostropovich has been intimately involved in its development, and several contemporary composers, among them Cage, Schnebel, and Walter Zimmermann, have composed works especially for it. Bach is also a composer, often in collaboration with the visual artist Renate Hoffleit, with whom he has created strikingly original strings and sound installations. His purely musical compositions are idiosyncratic and highly personal, described by him as 'free from compositional conventions.' His visual works include Fingerboards I, II (both 1990), and II-VII (1994-98), which capture the hand's choreography on the cello fingerboard as color impressions, Fieldwork (1994), Mit diesen beiden Handen (1994), Lagauche (1995), and Olevano (1995)." -- [Quoted from the Centennial Edition of "Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians" (2001)].
