H. L Mencken's voluminous journalism includes an occasional foray into music criticism. In 1912, writing in a magazine called The Smart Set, Mencken attempted to summarize the aesthetics of several composers in some tiny prose poems. Thus Beethoven became “The glory that was Greece ... the grandeur that was Rome ... a laugh." Chopin was represented by "Two embalmers at work upon a minor poet ... the scent of tubcroses ...Autumn rain" and Debussy by "A pretty girl with one blue eye and one brown eye." Probably the best- and certainly the most elegant of these encapsulations was the one Mencken provided for Johann Sebastian Bach. "Genesis 1:1," he wrote, and let it stand. J.S. Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier" is both a massive theoretical exercise and a deeply compelling work of art. It would be hard to imagine any music that has made more of an impression on succeeding generations of composers than "the 48," as the two books of 24 preludes and fugues in every major and minor key have long been abbreviated. Chopin is said to have begun each morning by playing through the score (and wrote his own album of 24 Preludes, the celebrated Opus 28). Composers such as Max Reger and Paul Hindemith built entire aesthetics on or around a conception of contrapuntal grandeur that can be traced back directly to the WTC while Dmitri Shostakovich fashioned his own distinctive set of Preludes as a modern-age answer to Chopin and Bach. More recently, we have had Wendy Carlos' "Switched on Bach," and the composer John La Montaine has even created his own electronic version of the complete “Well-Tempered Clavier.”

Forthright and boldly projected, these readings are more incisive than poetic, emphasized by the rather steely recording of the piano.
