See infra, p. 280. 3 In _The News_ of January 4, 1829, he is described as the second son of the late John Stephenson of Great Ormonde Street, Queen Square, whom he had succeeded in the partnership of the firm. His wife was dead, and of his eight children the eldest was also in the Bank. 4 Carl Philipp Emmanuel Bach, third son of Johann Sebastian Bach, b. 1714; Kammermusikus to Frederick the Great of Prussia (1746), Kapellmeister at Hamburg (1768); d. 1788. 5 Johann Friedrich Agricola, of Dobitsch, b. 1720; studied composition with Bach at Leipzig; Court Composer (1751) and, after Carl Heinrich Graun’s death (1759), Kapellmeister to Frederick the Great of Prussia; d. 1774. See Spitta, _Johann Sebastian Bach,_ iii. 243 ff. 6 Lorenz Christoph Mizler (1711-78), a pupil of Bach, founded at Leipzig in 1738 the “Sozietat der musikalischen Wissenschaften,” of which Bach and Handel were members. Mizler’s journal, the _Neueröffneter Musikalischer Bibliothek,_ was its organ. It appeared from 1736 to 1754. In Part I. of vol. iv. (1754) C. P. E. Bach and Agricola collaborated in the obituary notice, or “Nekrolog,” which is almost the earliest literary authority for Bach’s life. It covered less than twenty pages. (See Schweitzer, _J. S. Bach_ (trans. Ernest Newman), i. 189 ff. and Spitta, i. Pref.) Agricola’s association with Bach’s son in the preparation of the obituary notice is explained by the fact that for the last ten years of Sebastian’s life Agricola was in closer relations with him than Carl Philipp Emmanuel, who no longer was resident in Leipzig. 7 Forkel’s _Allgemeine Geschichte der Musik_ (2 vols. 1788-1801) had only come down to the sixteenth century when its author diverted his pen to a biography of Bach. 8 The firm of Hoffmeister and Kühnel was founded at Leipzig in 1800 by Franz Anton Hoffmeister, who started, in 1801, a subscription for the publication of Bach’s works, to which Forkel alludes. The scheme failed to mature, and its accomplishment was reserved to C. F. Peters, who purchased Hoffmeister’s “Bureau de Musique” in 1814.
