Remarks
- ↑ A problematic reference to a Johann Michael Bach exists in: Hermann Ritter (Hrsg.): Allgemeine Illustrierte Encyklopädie der Musikgeschichte 1902. Quotation: “Johann Michael Bach, who was born in Arnstadt in 1660 (!), Was an organist and town clerk in Gehren [ Principality of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen], where he died in 1723 (!). "This seems to be a mix-up, because the dates given here for the" Gehrener Bach "correspond to those of Johann Lorenz Stauber (1660–1723)
