Portrait

5/13/2016

 
​by Rebecca Cochran
 
Last year, the best-known portrait of J.S. Bach was returned to Leipzig, the city where Bach spent many of his most productive later years.
 
According to The Guardian, “The portrait of the composer, aged around 60, by Elias Gottlob Haussmann, had been in the private collection of American philanthropist William H. Scheide for over 60 years – it hung in his living room – but, on his death, he bequeathed it to the Bach Archive.”
 
And, there’s more to the story. Just what is that in Bach’s right hand?

    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!
