Denis Midgley Arnold, CBE (Sheffield, 15 December 1926 – Budapest, 28 April 1986) was a British musicologist. After being employed in the extramural department of The Queen's University, Belfast, he became a Lecturer in Music at the University of Hull, and from 1969 to 1975 was Professor of Music at The University of Nottingham. From 1975 he was Heather Professor of Music at Oxford University. He served as editor of Music & Letters. He is best known for his editing of The New Oxford Companion to Music (1983, Oxford University Press), which under his editorship grew to a two-volume work of some 2000 pages, with a broader coverage than Percy Scholes' original; and for his work on the music of Monteverdi, Marenzio and Giovanni Gabrieli.

A book about J.S. Bach — mostly covering the maestro's life and biographical procession, not covering the works themselves or commenting upon them, which is what I was looking for. I've already read a work on Bach's life which was a better mix of the two (commentary and biography) but felt that one to be a little too technical for me. I really can't be pleased, it seems!
