	Johann Sebastian Bach: a detailed informative biography
		Bach arrived at the small Court of Anhalt-Cöthen to hold the position of Capellmeister, the highest rank given to a musician during the baroque age.
		Bach would now begin to devote more time to activities outside Leipzig; to examine for musical appointments, to advise on organ building, to lend support from time to time to such private establishments as at Cöthen and Weißenfels, where he was honorary Capellmeister from 1729-1736.
		Bach then became a member of the Mitzler society, a learned society devoted to the promotion of musical science, whose members were expected on joining to display some token of their learning.

		The BWV numbers were assigned by Wolfgang Schmieder in 1950, indicating the placement in the catalogue of Bach's works entitled Thematisch-systematisches Verzeichnis der musikalischen Werke von Johann Sebastian Bach.
		The Bach Gesellschaft had been publishing Bach's works since 1851; these existing publications had grouped Bach's works by genre (or musical form), so listing according to this established practice was less confusing.
		Ordering the complete list of Bach's compositions by Opus number or by publication date were both out of the question: Bach didn't use "Opus" numbers, and only very few of his works had been published during his lifetime.

	Amazon.com: Johann Sebastian Bach: The Learned Musician: Books: Christoph Wolff (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Wolff devotes a great deal of space to examining how Bach was viewed by his contemporaries, to whom, of course, the idea of a musician as an artist--as opposed to a sort of scientist of sound (there are valuable comparisons of Bach's achievement to that of his contemporary, Isaac Newton)--was quite foreign.
		Wolff has excavated contemporary documents, giving remarkable detail on Bach's earnings and on the disposition of his manuscripts after his death to the various members of his multitudinous family; also included are charming examples of the musician's youthful zeal, such as his journey, 250 miles on foot, to see and hear the admired organist/composer Buxtehude.
		Bach refused to divorce theory from practice, so his collections of music like the Well-Tempered Clavier and the Art of the Fugue served to show how a particular form of music (e.g., the keyboard or the fugue) could be applied in just about any combination imaginable.
