David M. Jordan announces the post-launch availability of A Mostly True Story of Johann Sebastian Bach, a lively and intelligent portrait of one of music’s most influential figures. Written with a clear respect for history and an eye for humor, the book treats the composer not as a marble statue but as a working artist whose talent, temperament, and daily challenges shaped a legacy that still resonates. Jordan’s approach is direct and inviting: the prose moves quickly, the scenes feel immediate, and the narrative draws readers into rehearsal rooms, court appointments, family moments, and creative breakthroughs without weighing them down with jargon.
Framed as a playful, “mostly true” account, the book balances known milestones with fresh, human details that make the past feel close at hand. Jordan writes with an ear for rhythm and a steady comic touch, using wit to illuminate rather than distract. The result is an accessible read that rewards both casual listeners and seasoned aficionados, offering context for the music and color for the man behind it. Rather than retelling familiar anecdotes, Jordan focuses on motivation and consequence, why certain choices mattered, how conflicts shaped output, and what it costs to hold a high standard across a lifetime of work.
From its opening pages, the book sets a conversational tone without sacrificing substance. Jordan keeps the stakes clear, whether he is describing the grind of composing on deadline, the subtle politics of appointments and patronage, or the teaching and performing that filled so much of Bach’s calendar. The writing is paced to be read in generous sittings or in brief sessions, always returning to a central promise: readers will learn something real while enjoying the ride. It is a modern voice speaking about a timeless subject, and that combination gives the story an energy that suits today’s audience.
The book is available now on Amazon. It will be rolling out soon to Barnes & Noble and IngramSpark, with additional platforms to follow.
