In what is possibly the most unimportant piece of scholarship in over two thousand years, Professor Peter Schickele (University of Southern North Dakota at Hoople) has carefully crafted this long-ovedue biography of history's most justifiably neglected composer, ripping the veil of obscurity from the most unusual composer in the history of music: P.D.Q.

Along with the live and studio music performances of these "P.D.Q. Bach" works on the market since the days of the Long Playing Record, Schickele provides this additional documentation should there be any doubt as to the accuracy of his claims. There is at least no doubt as to the material's oddness, as the performance of one piece requires the creation of an instrument which combines the reed neck of a bassoon with a pipe connection adaptor that attaches to a trombone.
