Johann Ernst Bach
| 1722-1777Johann Ernst Bach (1722-1777) succeeded his father Johann Bernhard as organist at Eisenach, where he was later also appointed court Kapellmeister. His music which has survived consists mainly of sacred vocal works – together with a Mass, a Passion oratorio and a Magnificat, there are numerous cantatas, in which extended choral movements are especially favoured. In his compositions J.E. Bach reveals his receptiveness to the stylistic innovations of the age of sentiment ("Empfindsamkeit"). Personal details
Reviews
... Die Handhabung des Katalogs ist angenehm und übersichtlich.
Jennifer Ward, Forum Musikbibliothek, Jahrgang 40, Heft 2 /Juli 2019
... As one would expect from such a prestigious line-up of musicologists and publishers, the book is both packed with immense amounts of information that will undoubtedly contribute to a wider understanding of JEB's output (and facilitate the identification of further works by him!) and a beautiful object in its own right. At around 1cm thick, its modest appearance belie the enormous value of its contents.
