Hi.... who can tell me how's called the piece on minute 02.47?? Thank you... I love this movie! I Love his music..

The scene opens at his marriage ceremony to his cousin who he had met at Arnstadt. He gets a job at Mulhausen and leaves Arnstadt eagerly as the congregation did not like his busy playing. The Duke of Weimar for whom he worked was a puritanical fanatic who ordered Bach not to revolutionize the traditional music and told him instead to just occupy himself with the repair of the grand church organ. His wife bears him a child but he continues to compose (see below for continuation)

Ooooh it´s starting with the "Brandenburgische Konzerte" - another work he´d never seen a single penny for ..........

[carosaxone]

@camposi Gruss Dich Udo! Wie lange ist es her dass ich Dich nicht mehr gelesen haben.... Alles Gut?

[camposi]

@carosaxone Ave Armando. Schade - momentan habe ich leider zu wenig Zeit. Ich hoffe wir können uns im neuen Jahr nochmal besser verständigen. Gruß an Dich und deine Familie! Ich hoffe unsere Freundschaft bleibt bestehen!

@camposi lol, but at the sametime so sad

[camposi]

@stargirlsusan It´s a pity. Many videos aren´t available anymore for germany because they have conent of sony music or other companys. So I can´t get any context from the clip to what I wrote. But it´s true that Bach got no penny for much of his works.

[stargirlsusan]

@camposi yes it is a pity

I read that Bach would compose music to important people hoping to receive something to help himself and the whole family which was growing, but they couldnt even perform the demanding works and never got to hear how well it was done, and therefore never send him any money. that really sucks but it sounded funny how you put it.

@camposi Hey... I am an organist in a Lutheran Church in America.... THINGS HAVE NOT CHANGED!!! lol

[camposi]

@stargirlsusan Sometimes it´s strange. I look a video at youtube and leave a comment. The next day I couldn´t answer the comment because "this content isn´t available to my country!" But I learned when I click on Comments it´s possible - but I don´t see the clip at this time. It´s true that he got no penny for the Brandenburgische Concerts. If he died of a stroke ... it´s possible - we never know. In modern medicine some people get a stroke wile they got straighten their neck.

@camposi, i know when it happened to me too when i was on my ipod with this particular video, but when i went to the computer it allowed me to watch it, i dont know why it did this, youtube is kinda messed up sometimes.

However he keeps composing and teaching the kids new ideas. Here he incorporated the styles of Vivaldi, Corelli and Torelli. The Duke found out that Bach had applied for a job elsewhere so he had him arrested and kept in jail for one month to teach him a lesson and then discharged him.

[stargirlsusan]

Why did he went to jail??

[bergfriedorg]

I hope the german Synchro of the movie is good! I've bought the DVD today.

[camposi]

@bergfriedorg

Hi bergfriedorg - ich wäre auch an der DVD interesiert. Wo hast Du sie herbekommen?

[Sighardlenz]

@camposi Das ist eine gute und berechtigte Frage. Ich glaube, das war über Amazon. Der Film ist aber eher mittelmäßig; wenig Originalschauplätze und die Köthener Zeit ist viel zu kurz abgehandelt, immerhin seine glücklichste.

Ah Johann Sebastian Bach. Que serait la musique aujourd'hui si Bach n'avait pas existé? Difficile à s'imaginer cette perspective. Éternel Bach.

@treblechoir99 Estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo.
