	2.	Reininghaus, Frieder	1693: Schulschwänzen in Eisenach. [While the figure of Bach is always associated with devotion to duty and hard work, the records of the Lateinschule in Eisenach indicate that he was an inveterate cutter of classes at the age of eight or so. The reason, most likely, was that, far from avoiding work, he was helping out in the family business, singing for weddings, baptisms, jubilees, and burials, as would be normal for a musician family in northern Germany at that time.]	[ce]BachABC			2007	17-18

[Retells the story of the harpsichord playing competition between Bach and the French composer-performer Louis Marchand at the Dresden court of King August II in September 1717, from which Marchand ignominiously fled.

	7.	Reininghaus, Frieder	Endzweck. [Brief account of Bach's employment at Mühlhausen in 1707-08, when he left in favor of a position at Weimar where he felt he would be better able to attain his 'Endzweck' of a 'regulierte kirchen music zu Gottes Ehren.']	[ce]BachABC			2007	33-34

The rest of Mizler's life is briefly outlined]	[ce]BachABC			2007	63-65
	17.	Reininghaus, Frieder	National-Angelegenheit. [Johann Nikolaus Forkel's biography of J.S.
