Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21. 1685 in Eisenach/Thuringia. Bach found his first employment as organist at the Bonifatiuskirche in Arnstadt/Thuringia on August 9. 1703. Already in 1707 he obtained the position as organist in Mühlhausen/Thuringia at the church Divi Blasii. For different reasons Bach took over a new position with Duke Wilheln Ernst von Sachsen-Weimar as organist and member of the orchestra with the band at the castle of Weimar. This was Bachs “golden era of his organ art”. On August 1. 1717 Johann Sebastian Bach took up an engagement at the court to Köthen. In the second half of December 1717 Bach arrived in Köthen to meet Prince Leopold von Anhalt-Köthen and found an employment as “Hochfürstlich Anhalt-Köthenischer Kapellmeister”. In the beginning it was a promising employment, especially the friendly relationship to the prince, who himself was open to music and a musician himself. Bach would have stayed, but in the year 1721 the relationship changed, when the prince married the princess of Alhalt-Bernburg. ln 1722 the cantor of St Thomas in Leipzig Johann Kuhnau died. Bach applied for this position. On April 22. 1723 Bach was selected as cantor at St. Thomas.
