Generalbaßlehre of 1738” by Thomas Braatz © 2012
The Problematical Origins of the “Generalbaßlehre of 1738” by Thomas Braatz © 2012 Near the end of 2011 a new volume of the NBA was released by Bärenreiter. It is called a supplement and includes notes and studies on thorough-bass, composition and counterpoint along with a section of Bach’s sketches and drafts and finally in the appendix the more recently discovered aria, BWV 1127. In addition to the well- researched and documented rules on thorough-bass found in the Anna Magdalena Bach’s notebooks, there is a presentation and critical discussion of the recently discovered (1999) counterpoint studies in the form of an exchange between Wilhelm Friedemann Bach and his father, all in autograph documents from the period 1736 to1739 when W. F. Bach was an organist in Dresden. Of great interest is the analysis and discussion of the Precepts and Principles for Playing the Thorough-Bass along with the complete text and musical examples. Below I will present the original German (Appendix 1) along with my English translation (Appendix 2) of the pertinent sections from the NBA editor’s introduction and the critical report covering this document. From this the reader will be able ascertain the spurious1 nature of its origin and claims of authenticity. The Precepts and Principles for Playing Four-Part Thorough-Bass or Accompaniment, or more commonly referred to in its short form as the “Generalbaßlehre of 1738”, has attained a false aura of authenticity since the appearance of Philipp Spitta’s monumental Bach biography in which Spitta printed the entire text of this document that he also analyzed and discussed in greater detail in a music journal in 1882.2 Spitta was the first Bach scholar to recognize the connection between this document and certain paragraphs contained in a treatise by Friedrich Erhard Niedt.

Johann Sebastian Bach Biography
Johann Sebastian Bach Biography Composer (1685–1750) A magnificent baroque-era composer, Johann Sebastian Bach is revered through the ages for his work's musical complexities and stylistic innovations. Synopsis Born on March 31, 1685 (N.S.), in Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany, Johann Sebastian Bach had a prestigious musical lineage and took on various organist positions during the early 18th century, creating famous compositions like "Toccata and Fugue in D minor." Some of his best-known compositions are the "Mass in B Minor," the "Brandenburg Concertos" and "The Well-Tempered Clavier." Today, he is considered one of the greatest Western composers of all time. Childhood Born in Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany in 1685, Johann Sebastian Bach came from a family of musicians, stretching back several generations. His father, Johann Ambrosius, worked as the town musician in Eisenach, and it is believed that he taught young Johann to play the violin. At the age of seven, Bach went to school where he received religious instruction and studied Latin and other subjects. His Lutheran faith would influence his later musical works. By the time he turned 10, Bach found himself an orphan after the death of both of his parents. His older brother Johann Christoph, a church organist in Ohrdruf, took him in. Johann Christoph provided some further musical instruction for his younger brother and enrolled him in a local school. Bach stayed with his brother's family until he was 15. Early Career Bach had a growing reputation as a great performer, and it was his great technical skill that landed him the position of organist at the New Church in Arnstadt.

The Keyboard Music of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach Updates and Corrections
The Keyboard Music of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach Updates and Corrections Chapter 1 “But any biography of these composers must remain incomplete in ways that is not the case for musicians whose inner life, emotional as well as musical, is better documented . .” (p. 5). Friedemann’s inner life has nevertheless been reconstructed fictionally in the novels, films, and operas mentioned on pages 12–13. To these must be added Lauren Belfer’s 2016 novel And After the Fire, which, although continuing the tradition begun by Brachvogel of making Friedemann a lover of certain wealthy young women, in other respects paints plausible pictures of both the aging composer and his youthful pupil Sara Levy. “One long-standing enigma . his fourth cousin” (p. 11) The exact relationship of Friedemann to J. C. Bach of Halle is less certain and probably more remote than is indicated here. The “Halle Clavier Bach” was descended from Lips (Philippus) Bach, who might have been a brother or son of Veit Bach (Friedemann’s great-great-great-grandfather). All that can be said assuredly is that the two probably were distantly related, with one or more common ancestors, but none within five generations as suggested here. J. C. Bach of Halle belonged to the same Meiningen branch of the family that also produced the composer Johann Ludwig (his uncle) and the painters Gottlieb Friedrich and Samuel Anton Bach (his cousins). Chapter 2 “I do not give instruction” (see p. 292n. 27) The claim that Friedemann did not teach during his Berlin years is based not only on Friedemann’s own declaration but on a 1779 letter of Kirnberger to Forkel (in Bitter, 2:323: “auch Lection geben mag er nicht”).

A Walk with Bach a Little Over 327 Years Ago, a Baby Was Born Into a Family of Eight Children in the Small Village of Eisenach, Germany
A Walk With Bach A little over 327 years ago, a baby was born into a family of eight children in the small village of Eisenach, Germany. Although his parents were not wealthy, he was born into a very prestigious extended family of musicians. Even before he was born, anyone ZKRZDVDFFRPSOLVKHGLQPXVLFZDVFDOOHGD³%DFK´/LWWOHGLG anyone know, later, the work of all other Bachs would pale in comparison to the musical achievements of this baby.

The Organist Encounters the Hymnologist: J
Understanding Bach, 7, 21–28 © Bach Network UK 2012 The Organist Encounters the Hymnologist: J. S. Bach and J. C. Olearius in Arnstadt ROBIN A. LEAVER Apart from the various rebukes of the consistory in 1705–1706,1 not a great deal is known about Bach’s life in Arnstadt, yet these must have been formative years for the young musician. Between 1703 and 1707 he was organist of the rebuilt Bonifatiuskirche—then known as the Neue Kirche.2 These were years when he was still in his early twenties. As a musician he was already extremely accomplished, but in other respects he was still a very young man gathering knowledge and experience. Various generations of the Bach family continued to live and work in and around Arnstadt.3 The family connection was probably the main reason the young Bach, then only nineteen, was invited first to test the new organ built by Johann Friedrich Wender in 1703,4 and then to become the church’s full-time organist later the same year.5 Another extended family was active in Arnstadt. The numerous Olearius family of pastors, theologians, professors and lawyers, with branches in Halle, Leipzig and Weissenfels, also had two members, father and son, who served the churches in Arnstadt. The father was Johann Gottfried Olearius (1635–1711),6 the superintendent and pastor of the Barfüsserkirche, and the son was Johann 1 BDok II, nos. 14–17; NBR, nos. 19–21. 2 Since 1935 called the ‘Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Kirche’. 3 See Fritz Wiegand, ‘Die Arnstädter Bache’, in Karl Müller and Fritz Wiegand (eds.), Arnstädter Bachbuch: Johann Sebastian Bach und seine Verwandten in Arnstadt (2nd edn, Arnstadt: Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Bachpflege im Kulturbund Arnstadt, 1957), pp.
