Excerpt from Great Musical Composers: German, French and Italian, Edited, With an Introduction
At this period Germany was beginning to experience its musical renaissance. The various German courts felt that throb Of life and enthusiasm which had distinguished the Italian principalities in the preceding century in the direction of painting and sculpture. Every little capital was a focus Of artistic rays, and there was a general Spirit Of rivalry among the princes, who aspired to cultivate the arts of peace as well as those of war. Bach had become known as a gifted musician, not only by his wonderful powers as an organist, but by two Of his earlier master pieces - Gott ist mein Konig and Ich hatte viel Bekummerniss. Under the influence of an atmosphere so artistic, Bach's ardour for study increased with his success, and his rapid advancement in musical power met with warm appreciation.
