He was known in his lifetime as a decent organist with too many children. Peyser follows Bach from the Thuringian family of musicians through Weimar, Cothen and the long grinding years at Leipzig, writing cantatas weekly for a town council that thought it could have done better. The greatest musician in Europe, entirely unrecognised until eighty years after his death.
