, According to my principles, every master has his true and certain value. Praise and criticism cannot change any of that.
More often than not, one meets technicians, nimble keyboardists by profession, who … indeed astound us with their prowess without ever touching our sensibilities ....
A musician cannot move others unless he too is moved.

Born 8 March 1714, the fifth child of Johann Sebastian Bach and Maria Barbara Bach, he grew up inside the engine room of Baroque music but chose a different path. He became the principal voice of the empfindsamer Stil - the "sensitive style" - writing keyboard music that anticipated Romantic expressiveness in deliberate contrast to the statuesque forms his father had mastered. Known as the "Berlin Bach" during his years in that city, he later succeeded his godfather Georg Philipp Telemann as Kapellmeister in Hamburg, earning the title "Hamburg Bach." His treatise "Essay on the true art of playing keyboard instruments" became required reading for the next generation: Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven all studied it. He died 14 December 1788, having spent his career working the hinge between two musical worlds.
