Subj: [kl] Question on Bach's harmonic palate
Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2005 12:44:17 -0500

Hi All,

Happy Birthday, J.S!

In many of Bach's organ works, he uses dissonance freely, but seems to avoid
dissonance (mostly) in his instrumental and choral works.

Does anyone know why he used such different palates?

Any explanation or direction to some web site would be appreciated.

Best wishes,
Vann Joe Turner
