| TITLE: | 1693: Schulschwänzen in Eisenach. |
| SERIES: | [ce]BachABC (2007), pp. 17-18. |
| PUBL. DATA: | [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.] |
