He was Van Gogh in the music circle. He was ignored before his death and was pushed to the altar after his death.

it is difficult for music learners to get around a name-Bach, the composer is known as the "father of music", can be regarded as the "Van Gogh of music". He was ignored in life and was pushed to the altar after death. Whether it is a love life or a musical career, Bach's life is worth saying. Today, let's put aside the professional knowledge of music, pick up the "black material" of Bach, and take a look at the life of this music prodigal son.

A musical family lost his parents when he was young. In 1685, Bach was born into a musical family. His grandfather was a court musician, and his father and uncle were professional musicians. Bach learned the violin and harpsichord under his father's guidance in childhood. Uncle John Christopher Bach taught the art of organ playing to Bach. Under the influence of such a musical atmosphere, Bach has formed a very high musical literacy from an early age.

but their happy childhood ended when Bach was 9 years old, his mother died, and his father died eight months later. Bach, who lost his parents, lives with his brother, who is 14 years older. Bach's brother is also a music professional church organist. Under his brother's guidance, Bach continues to study music.

pipe organ. The organ is one of the most representative instruments of the whole European civilization, and it is also the instrument that Bach is good at best. one of his most famous pieces for the organ is "vo and Fugue in D minor" BWV565 ("Toccata and Fugue in D minor").

although his brother instructed Bach to observe and learn the works of many great composers, the two brothers also had unhappiness. My brother's family has a large number of music materials, such as music, but because it is too precious, and considering Bach's age at that time, his brother does not allow Bach to read it. Young Bach chose to wait for his brother to sleep and secretly read and copy music by moonlight at night.

once served as a child soprano

in 1693, Bach entered Eisenach Latin School, Martin Luther's alma mater. Martin Luther's hymn form, which advocated that "nothing can be better combined with music and theology," also became the source of Bach's music. Bach became a member of the school choir here.

in 1695, Bach, who stayed at his brother's house, joined the church choir, where Bach held the position of child soprano because of his 10-year-old child's voice. It is said that later when Bach left his brother's house to fend for himself, at first he also served as a child soprano in the church. As a result, he had no choice but to finish his work during the period of voice change.

around the age of 14, Bach was awarded a choral scholarship by an alumnus and then went to St. Michael to study at the prestigious school St. Michael to continue his music training while learning a wide range of cultural knowledge. After graduating from St. Michael, Bach began to make a living in music. He worked as a church venue musician, an organist, a court orchestra, and a lead singer and supervisor of the orchestra.

Bach has been married twice in his life

Bach has been married twice in his life, and is particularly able to give birth-- not musically prolific, but able-- he and his two wives had 20 children.

in 1707, Bach, 22, married his cousin Maria Barbara Bach, a year older than him. Also born in a musical family, his cousin accompanied Bach through a lot of lonely creative time, wholeheartedly supported Bach's music career, and also inspired Bach's creation in the sweetness of love. The two have seven children, two of whom follow in their father's footsteps and become musicians.

Bach's eldest son, William Friedman Bach, is also a composer and organist (pictured by Wikipedia)

1720, when the young Maria suddenly fell ill and died, which had a great impact on Bach.

during this time, Anna Magdalena, a young female singer, entered Bach's life. The two were 16 years apart, but they came together because of their love of music. Seventeen months after Maria's death, Bach married Anna and gave birth to 13 children in succession.

Anna is also a musician, so she has given a lot of help in Bach's music career. She often copies music for Bach, which is an important reason why Bach's music has been handed down to this day. Because Bach didn't pay much attention to his music at that time if you wrote an article for your work, wouldn't you throw it away when you finished using it? Who would consider preserving it and passing it on? So, thanks to Anna's copying, Bach's music has a chance to be re-recognized.

the black material is because all you see is music

speaking of which, does Bach have any black material? According to the information found, there are at least two of the following.

first, when Bach was young, Bookstrohud, the most famous organ composer at that time, was going to give a concert, and the city where the concert was held was 360 kilometers away from Bach's place of work at that time. Bach asked his boss at the time for a month's leave and then spent about a week hiking 360 kilometers to reach his destination. Seeing this, do you admire Bach's perseverance from the bottom of your heart? But in the field of work, Bach appears to be a dereliction of duty-Bach left the office for about four months to attend this series of concerts. Imagine, in such a long time, there is no one to find a job, if you are Bach's boss, do you want to fire him immediately?

the second thing is that when Bach was the music director of the orchestra in the church, he was in charge of training the orchestra and directing the orchestra to contact his music. Bach's wants were very strict. During an orchestra practice, he was very dissatisfied with the musician who played the bassoon and swore at the musician in anger. Feeling insulted, the musician threw the instrument and got into a fight with Bach. The two men fought from the church to the road outside. Bach also seems to have been sued because of this.

the image of Bach's hot prodigal son when he was young is completely different from that of him as we know him now, but in the final analysis, it is because he loves music too much, rather than writing music that he does not like as required. He prefers to wander outside and listen to the performance of the master, and he does not want his music to be destroyed by a musician who cannot play it. Perhaps it is the strict promotion of music that has promoted his musical status.

if you don't play music, you may become a mathematician

. In imagination, such a person with great artistic talent should have a weaker ability in science. But the usual understanding is also a kind of prejudice, and the master composer often has outstanding mathematical ability. Bach is like this. He shows his talent in mathematics in school, and his math scores are always among the best. And this also explains why his work is so regular, orderly, and logical. Therefore, in terms of music creation techniques, Bach can handle the difficult challenges very well.

Bach's music "the Art of Fugue" written in his later years reflects his ability very much. There is a piece of music that is so famous that it is called a "drawer". The whole piece of music seems to be written on a cardboard roll, rolled up, put in a drawer, and popped out like a drawer, revealing a long picture scroll.

the most special thing about this piece of music is that we habitually look at the music from left to right, and some passages in this piece can be seen upside down from right to left, and the whole piece can also be played. It's unusual. For example, the thirteenth paragraph of this song is written in reverse for the twelfth paragraph.

to facilitate your comparison, I cut this segment from teacher Peng Guanglin's audio. The first half of the audio is the 12th paragraph of "the Art of Fugue" and the second half is the 13th paragraph

. Isn't it amazing? I can't believe it sounds so good the other way around.

Bach is "ugly". Why can he become the "father of music"?

although I compare Bach to "Van Gogh of music", Bach is much luckier than Van Gogh. He has always been able to take his favorite music as his career and was appreciated by many people for his good organ. Only the music that was written was discovered by the conductor Mendelssohn in 1829. After Mendelssohn conducted the performance, Bach's music was re-recognized and gradually became a classic repertoire of classical music, and Bach, in the praise of later generations, was pushed to the position of "father of music".

is Bach's music really good? In the words of a friend who has studied music, Bach is "terrible" because his polyphonic music is too complex and requires high music processing skills, so it is also very painful for students, and it is difficult to play to a moving level. For us ordinary people, it is even more difficult to understand.
