I have enjoyed reading this book, it's easy to read - requires no special musical knowledge to comprehend. It is a dual biography of J.S. Bach and Fredrick the Great. The book starts with reporting an event in which these two person met, then begins to outline the stories of their lives.
It's a great book to begin studying Bach, as it also explains a lot about the society at that time. My teacher recommends it to familiarize names and places with it, but once again reminds that good reading sometimes involves fictionalized writing.
