When I was in Berlin and working with king Frederick II of Prussia I was paid getting paid 300 thalers a year #kingofthecheapskates
When I was 13 I got my degree in law at Leipzig University but realized it wasn't meant to be due to my love for music #musicinmyblood
The reason I have achieved so much is because of my father. If you view life like he did you will be successful. #thebachfamilymotto
If there is one you learn from me I would like it to be this.Everybody has their own value and nobody can take it away but yourself #BeYou
As I am 65 years old now I am deciding to retire and will no longer be doing public concerts due to my gout and health #mytimeiscoming
Due to my serious condition of gout I was incapable to travel around and perform. This also had an impact on my personal life #liferuiner 😭
In 1730 when I was 16 years old I wrote my first composition which was in the style of Vivaldi for keyboard and chamber music #goodcomposer
When I was 15 I was already performing at my fathers musical performances at churches and in the collegium musicum. #likefatherlikeson
If anyone has played my awesome piece Solfeggietto you will notice how its all monophonic meaning only one note at a time is played #unusual
I would like to thank Frederick the great for inviting me to be a member of the royal orchestra. We will celebrate after our next concert #🎹
As I am getting older know I have decided that I will be buried at St. Michaelis church in Hamburg where I currently am now #mytimeiscoming
Wrote a song called the fantasia in C minor that is dedicated to the death of my father(1750) who has been gone now for three years.
People still find it strange that I never had a piano teacher besides my father. Haven't people ever heard of a musical prodigy? #prodigy
Just found out my 30 year old son died shortly after his arrival to Italy due to a serious unknown illness. #extremelydepressedandsuicidal
Me and my wife J.S. Dannemann are so excited as our son J.S. Bach is traveling to Italy to for his wonderful talent as a painter #MoneyMaker
Ever since I have taken my godfathers position, my music style has changed a lot to ecclesiastical and choral music #diverseinallmusic
Did you know that my work was so important and awesome that I was one of the main composers to create the classical period! #importsome
I am much busier now as I am constantly producing new music for 5 different churches in this chaotic city. #churchesslaveandoverworked
It is such an honor to fill in the position of my dead godfather Telemann here in Hamburg. I will continue your great work #Bachmusicforlife
