Summary
I will never forget the words he spoke to me during my last visit at the beginning of 1950: “One labors a lifetime to uncover the enigma of this Johann Sebastian Bach—and once one believes himself to have achieved it, one notices all at once how everything slips like sand through the fingers.”
