Christoph seized the manuscript book and the copy, (1907). Creator: Unknown
Christoph seized the manuscript book and the copy, (1907). As the young Bach sleeps, his older brother takes the music he has secretly been studying, overcome with anger and jealousy at the thought that he had been outwitted by his little brother. With his mouth curved into a cruel smile, Christoph seized the manuscript book and the copy, and, taking them from the room, hid them away in a new place where Sebastian could not possibly find them. An episode from the life of German composer Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). From " Story-Lives of Great Musicians", by F.J. Rowbotham. [Wells Gardner, Darton & Co. Ltd, London, 1907]

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Christoph seized the manuscript book and the copy, (1907)", we are transported back in time to witness a dramatic episode from the life of renowned German composer Johann Sebastian Bach. As we gaze upon the scene, we find ourselves in a dimly lit bedroom where young Bach peacefully slumbers on his bed. However, lurking in the shadows is his older brother Christoph, consumed by anger and jealousy at being outwitted by his talented sibling. With a cruel smile curling on his lips, Christoph seizes both the manuscript book and its copy that Johann has been secretly studying. Overwhelmed by envy, he swiftly retreats from the room with these precious musical treasures. The intensity of emotions captured within this image speaks volumes about sibling rivalry and the complexities of human nature. It serves as a poignant reminder that even great composers like Bach were not immune to personal struggles within their own families. This evocative photograph transports us into an intimate moment between two brothers, showcasing themes of betrayal and forbidden desires. The black-and-white composition adds an air of mystery and nostalgia to this historical snapshot from 17th-century Germany. As we ponder over this mesmerizing artwork, it reminds us that even geniuses face challenges along their journey towards greatness – making them all the more relatable to us mere mortals.
