3 days ago · Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach, by Georg David Matthieu, 1774. Source: Wikimedia Commons J.C.F. Bach was, like his father J.S. Bach and brothers, a gifted keyboard player. Initially, he set out to study law (like older brother C.P.E. Bach) but the lure of better employment prospects as a musician was too strong to resist.
Dec 9, 2021 · J.S. Bach's third and fourth children, twins, were born on 23 February 1713 when Bach was 28. Johann Christoph lived no longer than a few hours after his birth, and his sister died a few weeks later, around the 13 March 1713.
Johann Christoph married Maria Elisabeth Wiedemann in 1667. They had seven children, including four sons who became musicians: [3] Johann Nicolaus (10 October 1669 – 4 November 1753), Johann Christoph Jr. (29 August 1676 – 1738), Johann Friedrich (1682–1730), and Johann Michael (1685–unknown).
Approximately 20 years after these brothers, two more composer sons of Bach were born from their father’s second marriage. Johann Christoph Friedrich stayed in one place longer than any of his brothers: he became a court musician in Bückeburg at the age of 18 and remained there all his life.
Bach no doubt wanted his surviving children to have a mother figure. On 3 December 1721, they got one when he married Anna Magdalena Wilcke, a singer from a musical family. Anna Magdalena was relatively young compared to Johann: she had just turned twenty, and he was thirty-six.
Aug 16, 2017 · Of all of J.S. Bach’s children to make their names as notable composers, J.C.F. and his younger brother Johann Christian got kind of unlucky. Not because of their talent, but because their older siblings got so much more time with their dad. And if you’re a Bach, “time with dad” means “time learning music.”.
