About the author

Johann Nikolaus Forkel

1749–1818

A pioneering music historian and devoted champion of J. S. Bach, he helped shape how later generations understood both Bach’s life and the history of music itself. Best known for the first full-length biography of Bach, he also spent decades as a respected scholar, teacher, and musician at Göttingen.
