Inhaltsangabe:

<p>Tracing a circular course that echoes Bach’s <em>Goldberg Variations</em>, Luis Sagasti’s second book to appear in English takes the guise of a musical scheherazade, recounting story after story, vibrating to celestial harmonies. From the music born of the sun to the music sent into space on the <em>Voyager</em> mission, from Rothko to rock music, from the composers of the concentration camps to a weeping room for Argentinian conscripts in the Falklands, <em>A Musical Offering</em> traverses the shifting sands of fiction and history.</p>
