This festival marking the birthday of Johann Sebastian Bach features concerts in churches, concert halls, underpasses and squaresand outstanding musicians celebrating the Baroque master with free concerts in public places around the world. Seven days of Bach being played everywhere, including Budapest!
Orphaned by the untimely death of his parents, J.S. Bach wound up in the care of his older brother Johann Christoph Bach. Legend has it that what the young Sebastian longed for more than anything at that time was his brother's coveted collection of manuscripts of works by the most important master keyboard players of the era. Since he was not allowed use of the volume, at night he would filch it from the score cabinet and copy the masterpieces in it by moonlight. We are fortunate in that a large portion of these manuscripts have survived, and eventually the young Sebastian's own initial keyboard works would also wind up in the collection. At the concert, we will get to hear a selection from these volumes, which will provide an idea of what the young genius' musical world was like, as well as what works and composers had an influence on his development.
