Johann Christian Bach (Clavier-Bach)
Johann Christian Bach (born July 23, 1743 in Halle (Saale) ; † June 20, 1814 there ) was a pianist and teacher at the pedagogy in Halle. He belongs to the widely ramified Bach family ; to distinguish it from Johann Sebastian Bach's youngest son , Johann Christian Bach , he was nicknamed “Halle Clavier Bach”.
Life
Johann Christian Bach was the son of the cantor at St. Ulrich in Halle Georg Michael Bach (1703–1771); his uncle was the Thuringian court composer Johann Ludwig Bach (1677–1731).
Johann Christian Bach was a student of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach , from whom he received the piano booklet for Wilhelm Friedemann Bach as a gift. The Halle Clavier-Bach is probably shown in the portrait of Friedrich Georg Weitsch , which for a long time was regarded as a portrait of Wilhelm Friedemann. Shortly before his death, he bequeathed his music collection to the music director Johann Nicolaus Julius Kötschau (1788–1845).
