 | | Bach: The Most Prolific Name in Music | “How did you get ahold of this if it was never printed?” Mozart asks.
“I had it copied in Leipzig,” replies the Baron. “There is nothing new except the old.”
This fictional exchange from the excellent 1982 French miniseries “Mozart” captures both the admiration that Mozart had for Johann Sebastian Bach, and the middling status Bach experienced as a composer during his own lifetime. Beyond this general spirit of truth, though, there is no evidence that Mozart ever said these words, nor do we know how he first encountered Bach’s music.
However, we can enjoy this exchange because Bach’s musical genius is beyond anyone’s doubt—and it did not occur in a void. Many casual fans of classical music know Bach was from a family of musicians. They span seven generations. There were a lot of them.
Today, we take you through the lasting legacy of the Bach dynasty.
