Johann Christian Bach (1735-1782): The "London Bach" and a Guiding Light for Mozart

The youngest son of the immortal Johann Sebastian Bach, Johann Christian Bach carved out his own distinguished legacy, earning him the moniker "the London Bach." While his father epitomized the Baroque master, J.C. Bach embraced the emerging Classical style with grace and innovation, making him a pivotal figure in the transition of musical eras.

Born in Leipzig, J.C. Bach received his early musical training from his illustrious father and elder brother, Carl Philipp Emanuel. However, his journey soon led him far from his German roots. He spent several formative years in Italy, where he converted to Catholicism and delved into opera, an experience that profoundly shaped his melodic sensibilities and dramatic flair.
