How did Bach work?
How did he organize his everyday life?
How did he live with his wife and his many children? How did he battle -and come to terms -with his contemporaries -from Leipzig councillors to the kings he encountered?
Who was this man who marked the beginning of modern music with some 250 cantatas, 280 organ compositions, great Passions, oratorios and masses, the 'Well- Tempered Clavier', the 'Brandenburg Concertos', many works of chamber music and the Art of the Fugue'? Organist, Court Kapellmeister (director of music), Cantor (choirmaster) and well established citizen, J. S. Bach wrote the compositions so much admired by posterity as a daily duty. Where did he get the strength for his great creative work?
The perfect compliment to Hänssler Classic's epic Edition Bachakademie! 191 pages, lavishly illustrated with documents from Bach's life, facsimiles, and full color reproductions, including a FREE Compact Disc, featuring Award Winning performances from the Hänssler catalogue!

About the Author:
HANS CONRAD FISCHER, born in 1926, studied philosophy, German studies, drama and the history of art. He wrote a thesis on the history of the Salzburg Festivals and received a doctorate. For several years, he was director of the department of literature and radio plays of Radio Salzburg. He has also worked for many other radio stations and theatres. After working with actors and producing numerous TV films for many years, he also made music his profession, for which he has had a special love since childhood. Fischer's films about Mozart, Beethoven and Bruckner met with world-wide acclaim. They won numerous awards and have been shown in many countries. In 1985 there followed a fourth film biography of a great composer: Johann Sebastian Bach. Dr. Fischer's biographies of Mozart, Beethoven and Bruckner have also been widely translated.
