EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic house of Johann Sebastian Bach in Leipzig, Germany, around 1890. The renowned German composer and organist, Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), is widely regarded as one of the greatest composers in Western music history. His compositions for the organ are particularly revered. In 1723, he relocated to Leipzig after securing the prestigious position of cantor and musical director at St Thomas Church. The image showcases a beautiful square building with intricate architectural details that reflect the classical style prevalent during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The wood engraving technique used to create this print adds a sense of timelessness to the scene. Bach's connection to Christianity is evident through his association with St Thomas Church, which stands proudly nearby. This religious affiliation greatly influenced his compositions, many of which were created for church services. In this snapshot from over a century ago, we get a glimpse into both Bach's personal life and his impact on German culture. It serves as a reminder of how influential he was not only within Germany but also globally in shaping classical music as we know it today.
