The Musical Grandson

1/18/2016

 
​by Rebecca Cochran

Bach’s grandson, Wilhelm Friedrich Ernst Bach was an excellent composer and continued the long line of musical Bachs. The son of Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach, Ernst Bach studied with his uncles, C.P.E. Bach and J.C. Bach. (Johann Sebastian Bach passed away before Ernst was born.)
 
I learned of Ernst Bach during an interesting conversation with a fellow audience member at a recital I attended last weekend. She mentioned his Dreyblatt, a piece for piano involving six hands! Read more about Ernst Bach and his Dreyblatt here.

Words don’t really do this piece justice. Do yourself a favor and watch this charming video of Maria Genin, Vladimir Genin and Anna Schorr performing Dreyblatt.

    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!
