Brotherly Love

7/16/2016

 
by Rebecca Cochran
 
Johann Christoph Bach (1671-1721) was the oldest brother of J.S. Bach. Johann Chrisoph’s so-called Andreas Bach Book is a compilation of early 18th-century keyboard works by French, Italian and German composers including J.S. Bach, Buxtehude, Pachelbel and numerous others.
 
The Andreas Bach Book documents J.S. Bach’s early output from the years 1700-1715. Suffice it to say that Johann Christoph recognized his brother’s genius early on.
 
Included in this set is Bach’s beautiful Aria Variata ‘alla Maniera Italiana’ (BWV 989). It probably dates from 1709 when Bach was not yet 25 years old!

Enjoy this recording by pianist, Glenn Gould.

    My Year of Bach.

    This is an experiment.
    I love Bach: listening to Bach; playing Bach (alone or with others); discovering Bach; learning from Bach; sharing Bach.

    ​I need Bach in my daily life.

    ​So, for 2016, I'm challenging myself to write a short daily post about Bach. Come along for the ride, if you're so inclined. Let's listen, share and learn together!
