200 In addition to those mentioned by Forkel, the following pupils of Bach are known: Johann Gotthilf Ziegler, of St. Ulrich’s Church, Halle; J. Bernhard Bach, of Ohrdruf; Heinrich Nikolaus Gerber, Organist at Sondershausen; Samuel Anton Bach, of Meiningen; Johann Ernst Bach, of Saxe-Weimar; Johann Elias Bach, Cantor at Schweinfurt; Johann Tobias Krebs, organist at Buttelstädt, and his sons, Johann Ludwig, Johann Tobias, and Johann Carl; Johann Schneider, organist of St. Nicolas’, Leipzig; Georg Friedrich Einicke, Cantor at Frankenhausen; Johann Friedrich Doles, Bach’s second successor in the Cantorate of St. Thomas’; Rudolph Straube, who afterwards settled in England; Christoph Nichelmann, cembalist to Frederick the Great; Christian Gräbner, and Carl Hartwig. For full information upon Bach’s pupils see Spitta, i. 522 ff., ii. 47 ff., iii. 116 ff., 239 ff., and the relative articles in Grove’s _Dictionary._ 201 Forkel does not do justice to his friend. C. P. E. Bach is recognised as the immediate precursor of Haydn and as the link between the latter and J. S. Bach. 202 Mozart had a very particular regard for him. See Schweitzer i. 220 on his brothers’ abilities as composers. 203 Spitta (iii. 262) quotes a characteristic anecdote. To some one who praised his skill on the Organ Bach replied: “There is nothing wonderful about it. You merely strike the right note at the right moment and the Organ does the rest.” 204 See supra, p. 19. Bach himself certainly was the challenger. 205 When Handel was at Venice in 1708, Domenico Scarlatti, hearing a stranger touching the Harpsichord at a masquerade, exclaimed, “That must either be the famous Saxon or the Devil” (Rockstro’s _George Frederick Handel,_ p. 48). Streatfield (p. 145) mentions a similar event which took place in 1737. Hearing a stranger playing a Fugue in one of the Flemish churches, the organist embraced him, saying, “You can be no other but the great Handel.” 206 Heinrich Lorenz Hurlebusch was organist of three churches in Brunswick. His visit to Bach took place in 1730, seemingly. See Schweitzer, i. 154. 207 Schweitzer prints an appreciation of Hurlebusch which suggests that he was a man of distinct ability and “a paragon of politeness.” 208 Antonio Caldara, b. circ. 1670; vice-Kapellmeister at Vienna, 1716-36; d. 1736. 209 Johann Adolph Hasse, b. 1699, d. 1783; Kapellmeister and Director of the Opera, Dresden. 210 Johann Gottlieb Graun, b. circ. 1698, d. 1771; conductor of the royal Kapelle, Berlin. Carl Heinrich Graun, b. 1701, d. 1759; like his brother, in Frederick the Great’s service. 211 Georg Philipp Telemann, b. 1681, d. 1767; Cantor and Musik-direktor in Hamburg.
