'Bach and the Thomaskantorat', Discussing Bach 3 (October, 2021)

• This is the third issue of the Bach Network multimedia open access publication, edited by Ruth Tatlow and Barbara M. Reul.This issue is about the competition that eventually led to J.S. Bach's appointment as Thomaskantor in Leipzig. But what happened before he was chosen? Who did the town council approach first, and why? And why did the forerunners decline? Four experts, Steven Zohn (Telemann), Michael Maul (Bach), Barbara Reul (Fasch), and Ursula Kramer (Graupner), use latest source studies and ideas to discuss how the story unfolded and ideas about other possible outcomes. You can watch the thirty-minute video (with English subtitles) on YouTube and at https://bachnetwork.org/discussing-bach where you can also read and download all the documentation. Two new articles, by Zohn and Reul, were commissioned especially for this issue. This open access publication is free to download and share with colleagues, music lovers and to use in teaching where appropriate. The first two issues of Discussing Bach are on the topics of ‘Bach and Emotion’ (2020) and ‘Bach and Jesus (2021),
