Johann Gottfried Bernhard Bach

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Gottfried Bernhard Bach (11 May 1715 – 27 May 1739) was a German musician. It is not known whether he composed,[1] and his career as an organist is not in itself notable, but his life throws light on his famous father, Johann Sebastian Bach. Johann Gottfried was the fourth child of Johann Sebastian and Maria Barbara Bach to reach adulthood.

He was born in Weimar, where his father was employed until 1717, when the family moved to Köthen. His mother died in Köthen in 1720 and his father remarried the next year.[1][2]
