About this book
Johann Nikolaus Forkel wrote the first biography of Johann Sebastian Bach, published in German in 1802 and translated here with notes and appendices by Charles Sanford Terry in 1920. Chapters deal with Bach's family, his career and his years at Leipzig from 1723 to 1750, then with him as clavier player, organist, composer and teacher, and with his personal characteristics. Terry adds a chronological catalogue of the compositions, a list of the church cantatas, a bibliography of Bach literature and genealogical tables of the family.
