[KingofNoldors]

J. C. Bach's (galant) style is peculiar of the Italian School, even if he was influenced also by his brother Carl Philipp Emmanuel. The Viennese Classicism didn't exist when our composer began his job. The Austrian style begin, we could say, when J. C. Bach was at the end of his life (he died in 1782). However, Johann Christian had a great influence on Classicism; in fact he was one of the teacher of Mozart (when Mozart lived in London), and Mozart was one of his greatest fan.

[KingofNoldors]

Ehm... Mozart was born in 1756... you mean probably that he was in London in1764-1767.

It is true that he stayed for a long time and studied in Italy, with Padre Martini. But it's also true that he taught Mozart, although not very extensively. The four concertos of KV 107 from Mozart's early years, are in fact J. C. Bach's sonatas given to Mozart as a gift and transformed into concertos by him, while around that time J. C. had been teaching him.

Christian Bach Was in Milan so for that heàs music sounds like Mozart was his pupil and Mozart Loves the italian Culture of his time!

[fiandrhi]

Um, AdmiralPrussia, I'm not sure where you get your facts, but JC Bach studied with CPE, and the went (or perhaps was sent) to Italy, where he was steeped in Italian music for many years and became an organist there. He later made his home in England, which is why he's traditionally referred to as "the English Bach". It is true he befriended Mozart, but I believe it's overstatement to say he taught him. Mozart regarded him highly, and it's not hard to understand why.

Mozart came to London in 1754/55

[AdmiralPrussia]

King you actually are Wrong in a way he learned musik in the Viennese style which is Austrian but it is similar to mozart but then again he taught mozart

Rousset uber alles

[KingofNoldors]

The style of Johann Christian Bach is peculiar of the 18th century Neapolitan School of Music, and in general of the Italian galant style. J. C. Bach, together with other composers like Sammartini, Anfossi, Sarti, Gluck, ecc. had a huge influence on Mozart.

[whomakemefeel]

Hayden and Mozart they both learn a musik under Bach family so theres no assume in Mozart and Hayden style cos they take that melody fom J,C,Bach himself
