10 things you didn’t know about… JS Bach
- In 1717, JS Bach resigned as the Duke of Weimar’s Konzertmeister. Furious, the Duke threw him into jail for four weeks.
- In 1705, while working in Arnstadt, Bach went AWOL, walking the round trip of 250 miles to Lübeck to see and hear his organist hero, Dieterich Buxtehude.
- That wasn’t only time Bach got into trouble in Arnstadt. On suggesting that the church orchestra’s bassoonist sounded like a ‘nanny-goat’, the musician in question confronted Bach in the town square and hit him with a stick.
- Bach died in 1750 just a few months after disastrous eye surgery by John Taylor. Taylor was also responsible for Handel’s blindness in later life.
- Bach’s 48 Preludes and Fugues were the first time a composer had explored all 24 keys, major and minor. There are 48 because Bach did it twice, in two volumes.
- The ‘48’ were only possible thanks to a new system of tuning that allowed all the keys to sound agreeable on a keyboard.
- It’s thought that, on his death, Bach gave many of his manuscripts to his son, WF Bach, who promptly sold many of them to pay off debts.
- A recent theory has suggested that Bach’s Cello Suites were, in fact, written by his wife, Anna Magdalena.
- The famous Toccata and Fugue in D minor by JS Bach isn’t actually by JS Bach. No one knows the actual composer, but it’s thought it may have originated as a solo violin work.
- Bach clearly thought everyone else could be as fine an organist as he was. ‘All you have to do is touch the right key at the right time and the instrument will play itself’, he’s rumoured to have said.

"Inspiration is a guest that does not willingly visit the lazy."
True words from a man who could be described as many things, but lazy certainly wasn't one of them. Tchaikovsky was a masterful composer whose music spoke from the heart, to the heart. But he was a complicated man too; a troubled soul - and when he was at a low, his inspiration escaped him. Perhaps something many of us can identify with.
Here's a few things you might not know about the man who gave the world such delights as the Nutcracker, Swan Lake and the 1812 Overture.
1. Tchaikovsky actually studied law for nine years before deciding on a career in music.
2. Nadezhda von Meck was Tchaikovsky’s most generous patron, supporting him over 14 years. But he never actually met her.
3. The Russian suffered from debilitating depression his entire life.
4. One of his most famous and enduring works, the 1812 Overture, was composed in just one week.
5. Tchaikovsky almost binned the score to his First Piano Concerto after Nikolai Rubinstein called it ‘fragmented, so clumsy, so badly written’ and ‘beyond rescue’.
6. For years, it was thought Tchaikovsky died of cholera from contaminated water, but the theory today is that he committed suicide by taking arsenic after being caught in flagrante with the nephew of a high-ranking official.
7. Tchaikovsky was from a large family – he had four brothers and one sister.
8. Disney has controversially trademarked the name ‘Princess Aurora’, the lead character in Tchaikovsky’s ballet Sleeping Beauty and Disney’s cartoon of the same name. To add insult to injury, Disney used large swathes of Tchaikovsky’s music in its 1959 cartoon.
9. Tchaikovsky supplemented his income with work as a music critic. Schumann’s orchestration skills were a target of his invective, an opinion which puzzlingly still sticks today.
10. The composer was convinced his head would fall off while he was conducting, and would often hold it up with one hand while directing the orchestra with the other.
