It looks very much +the same today as it did when Sebastian was a little boy. Many people go +there to visit this house because the little boy grew to be a famous +man. + +In Eisenach there is a statue of Bach near the palace. + + [Illustration: STATUE OF BACH AT EISENACH.] + +In the same town in which Sebastian was born there stands on the top of +a hill a very famous castle built many hundreds of years ago. + +This castle is called the Wartburg. + + [Illustration: THE CASTLE AT WARTBURG.] + +As a boy little Sebastian used to climb the hill with his friends, and +they, no doubt, had a happy time playing about the castle grounds. In +one of its great halls the minstrels of Germany held their Song +Contests. + +When Sebastian was old enough he used to travel afoot, just as the +minstrels did; his purpose was to go to hear fine organ players. Once as +he sat weary by the roadside someone threw a herring to him so that he +might eat as he rested. + + [Illustration: BACH EATING THE HERRING.] + +Little Sebastian's father was named JOHANN AMBROSIUS BACH. He, too, was +a musician, as his people had been for many years. + + [Illustration: JOHANN AMBROSIUS BACH.] + +One of these was a miller who played and sang while the corn was +grinding. His name was Veit Bach, and his little boy was called Hans, +the Player, because he, too, loved to play the violin. + + [Illustration: VEIT BACH AND HIS SON HANS.] + +When Sebastian was ten years old his father and mother died. So he went +to live with his brother, whose home was a few miles away. + +Of this brother Sebastian had music lessons, and he improved so rapidly +that he used to beg to be allowed to play the pieces in a big book in +the library. + +But the brother refused him this pleasure. However, little Sebastian was +eager to learn all the music he could find, so he used to sit up on +moonlight nights and copy these pages while his brother was asleep. + +But what do you think happened when he had copied everything in that big +book? + +His brother found out what he had done and took all his precious music +away from him. + + [Illustration: BACH COPYING MUSIC BY MOONLIGHT.] + +If you know any boy who is about twenty years old you may say to him, +Bach was as old as you are when Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston. + +And although there was this difference of twenty years or so in their +ages, we may think of them at work in the world at the same time. You +must remember that all men like Franklin and Bach who became famous did +so by working very hard. + + [Illustration: BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.] + +Franklin, too, was born very poor. Once he walked the streets of +Philadelphia with a loaf of bread under each arm. But by being faithful +in all he did he became the friend of all his countrymen and of Kings +and Queens besides. + +Benjamin Franklin was quite a little younger than Sebastian Bach. But +there was a famous man who was almost exactly Sebastian's age. This man +composed an Oratorio that is loved by everybody. It is sung in cities +and towns all over the world, particularly at Christmas time. + +Do you happen to know the name of this Oratorio? If not, you can surely +learn it by asking someone or by looking it up in a book. + +Write in the name of the composer of this Oratorio below the picture, +and write on this line the name of the Oratorio itself. + + ............................................... + + [Illustration] + +The composer's name is + + ............................................... + +The Oratorio, the name of which you have just written, was first sung in +the Irish city of Dublin, 1742. + +At that time Sebastian Bach was living in Leipsic and had been for many +years at the head of the Thomas School. He was known as its Cantor. Bach +worked very hard here to supply music for several of the Leipsic +churches, and he worked so well that his fame spread until it reached +the ears of the Emperor. + +Frederick the Great was also a musician and composer. So he invited +Sebastian Bach to visit him at his castle. There were many people +present, but Sebastian Bach was the principal guest. He played on many +of the Emperor's fine pianos. When he reached home again he composed a +musical work and dedicated it to the Emperor. + + [Illustration: BACH PLAYING BEFORE FREDERICK THE GREAT.] + +The kind of a piano that Sebastian Bach played on was not called a piano +in his day. It was called a Clavier or Clavichord. + +Some day you will study a collection of pieces by Sebastian Bach which +was written for this instrument and was called _The Well Tempered +Clavichord_. + +This is the kind of piano, or clavichord, that Bach used. + + [Illustration: THE CLAVICHORD.] + +And here is the beginning of the very first piece in the collection of +which we have just spoken in Bach's handwriting. + + [Illustration: BACH'S HANDWRITING.] + + [Illustration: MORNING PRAYERS IN THE HOME OF JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH.] + +Sebastian Bach had a very large family, twenty children altogether. Two +of them studied music faithfully with their father. + +One was Friedmann, for whom the father wrote a book called _Little +Preludes_. Friedmann's brother, Philipp Emanuel Bach, was a very fine +clavichord player. He wrote a book about music and composed many pieces. + + [Illustration: WILLIAM FRIEDMANN BACH. PHILIPP EMANUEL BACH.] + +Sebastian Bach died in 1750. He was sixty-five years of age. + +Benjamin Franklin was at that time forty-four years old and George +Washington was eighteen. + +This is the way Bach wrote his name. + + [Illustration] + + + FACTS ABOUT SEBASTIAN BACH. + +Read these facts about Sebastian Bach and try to write his story out of +them, using your own words. + +When your story is finished ask your mother or your teacher to read it. +When you have made it as perfect as you can, copy it on pages 14, 15 and +16. + +1.

Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/34568-8.zip b/34568-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..7dbd8c2 --- /dev/null +++ b/34568-8.zip diff --git a/34568-h.zip b/34568-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..71576f7 --- /dev/null +++ b/34568-h.zip diff --git a/34568-h/34568-h.htm b/34568-h/34568-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..737ef8b --- /dev/null +++ b/34568-h/34568-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,945 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> +<!-- $Id: header.txt 236 2009-12-07 18:57:00Z vlsimpson $ --> + +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> + <head> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" /> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" /> + <title> + The Project Gutenberg eBook of Child's Own Book of Great Musicians BACH, by Thomas Tapper. + </title> + <style type="text/css"> + +body { + margin-left: 10%; + margin-right: 10%; + font-size: 200%; +} + +/* paragraphs */ + +p { + margin-top: 3%; + margin-bottom: 3%; + text-align: justify; + text-indent: 5%; +} /* general indented paragraph */ + +p.h2 { + margin-top: 7%; + text-indent: 0%; + text-align: center; + font-size: 150%; + font-weight: bold; +} + +p.h3 { + margin-top: 7%; + text-indent: 0%; + text-align: center; + font-size: 100%; + font-weight: bold; +} + +hr { + width: 33%; + margin-top: 8%; + margin-bottom: 8%; + margin-left: auto; + margin-right: auto; + clear: both; +} + +hr.hr2 +{ + width: 90%; + color: white; + background-color: white; + border: none; + border-bottom: 6px double black; + margin: 8% auto; +} /* horizontal rule for chapter divisions */ + +hr.hrbd +{ + width: 70%; + color: white; + background-color: white; + border: none; + border-bottom: 6px dotted black; + margin: 8% auto; +} /* long dotted line */ + +.pagenum { + visibility: hidden; + position: absolute; + left: 92%; + font-size: smaller; + text-align: right; +} /* page numbers */ + +/* Images */ +img { + border: 1px solid black; + padding: 6px; +} + +.figcenter { + margin: auto; + text-align: center; +} + +.caption { + font-weight: bold; + font-size: 50%; +} + +/* other */ +.cursivecenter { + font-family: cursive; + text-align: center; + text-indent: 0%; +} +.smfontcenter { + text-align: center; + text-indent: 0%; + font-size: 75%; +} + +.bbox { + margin-left: 20%; + margin-right: 20%; + border: solid 2px; +} + +.center {text-align: center;} + +.smcap {font-variant: small-caps;} + +div.tnote { + border-style: dotted; + margin-left: 10%; + margin-right: 10%; + padding: 4%; + font-style: normal; + font-size: 75%; + text-align: justify; + background-color: #f6f2f2; +} + + </style> + </head> +<body> + + +<pre> + +The Project Gutenberg EBook of Johann Sebastian Bach, by Thomas Tapper + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/34568-h/images/cover.jpg b/34568-h/images/cover.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b64fb43 --- /dev/null +++ b/34568-h/images/cover.jpg diff --git a/34568-h/images/illus01.jpg b/34568-h/images/illus01.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b5317a0 --- /dev/null +++ b/34568-h/images/illus01.jpg diff --git a/34568-h/images/illus02.jpg b/34568-h/images/illus02.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..649da3a --- /dev/null +++ b/34568-h/images/illus02.jpg diff --git a/34568-h/images/illus03.jpg b/34568-h/images/illus03.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..5a8ba5f --- /dev/null +++ b/34568-h/images/illus03.jpg diff --git a/34568-h/images/illus04.jpg b/34568-h/images/illus04.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..35464d1 --- /dev/null +++ b/34568-h/images/illus04.jpg diff --git a/34568-h/images/illus05.jpg b/34568-h/images/illus05.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..4857d71 --- /dev/null +++ b/34568-h/images/illus05.jpg diff --git a/34568-h/images/illus06.jpg b/34568-h/images/illus06.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b124184 --- /dev/null +++ b/34568-h/images/illus06.jpg diff --git a/34568-h/images/illus07.jpg b/34568-h/images/illus07.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..50fa8d8 --- /dev/null +++ b/34568-h/images/illus07.jpg diff --git a/34568-h/images/illus08.jpg b/34568-h/images/illus08.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..51837c4 --- /dev/null +++ b/34568-h/images/illus08.jpg diff --git a/34568-h/images/illus09.jpg b/34568-h/images/illus09.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..800f3ba --- /dev/null +++ b/34568-h/images/illus09.jpg diff --git a/34568-h/images/illus10.jpg b/34568-h/images/illus10.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e3a2498 --- /dev/null +++ b/34568-h/images/illus10.jpg diff --git a/34568-h/images/illus11.jpg b/34568-h/images/illus11.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..06c9d03 --- /dev/null +++ b/34568-h/images/illus11.jpg diff --git a/34568-h/images/illus12.jpg b/34568-h/images/illus12.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..1b6cde9 --- /dev/null +++ b/34568-h/images/illus12.jpg diff --git a/34568-h/images/illus13.jpg b/34568-h/images/illus13.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..fd6d075 --- /dev/null +++ b/34568-h/images/illus13.jpg diff --git a/34568-h/images/illus14.jpg b/34568-h/images/illus14.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..cf6be40 --- /dev/null +++ b/34568-h/images/illus14.jpg diff --git a/34568-h/images/illus15.jpg b/34568-h/images/illus15.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b83d051 --- /dev/null +++ b/34568-h/images/illus15.jpg diff --git a/34568-h/images/illus16.jpg b/34568-h/images/illus16.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..619db6d --- /dev/null +++ b/34568-h/images/illus16.jpg diff --git a/34568-h/images/illus17.jpg b/34568-h/images/illus17.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..92d4568 --- /dev/null +++ b/34568-h/images/illus17.jpg diff --git a/34568-h/images/illus18.jpg b/34568-h/images/illus18.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..89098e2 --- /dev/null +++ b/34568-h/images/illus18.jpg diff --git a/34568-h/music/bach.mid b/34568-h/music/bach.mid Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b11f05d --- /dev/null +++ b/34568-h/music/bach.mid diff --git a/34568.txt b/34568.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..a0d265c --- /dev/null +++ b/34568.txt @@ -0,0 +1,680 @@ +The Project Gutenberg EBook of Johann Sebastian Bach, by Thomas Tapper + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

It looks very much +the same today as it did when Sebastian was a little boy. Many people go +there to visit this house because the little boy grew to be a famous +man. + +In Eisenach there is a statue of Bach near the palace. + + [Illustration: STATUE OF BACH AT EISENACH.] + +In the same town in which Sebastian was born there stands on the top of +a hill a very famous castle built many hundreds of years ago. + +This castle is called the Wartburg. + + [Illustration: THE CASTLE AT WARTBURG.] + +As a boy little Sebastian used to climb the hill with his friends, and +they, no doubt, had a happy time playing about the castle grounds. In +one of its great halls the minstrels of Germany held their Song +Contests. + +When Sebastian was old enough he used to travel afoot, just as the +minstrels did; his purpose was to go to hear fine organ players. Once as +he sat weary by the roadside someone threw a herring to him so that he +might eat as he rested. + + [Illustration: BACH EATING THE HERRING.] + +Little Sebastian's father was named JOHANN AMBROSIUS BACH. He, too, was +a musician, as his people had been for many years. + + [Illustration: JOHANN AMBROSIUS BACH.] + +One of these was a miller who played and sang while the corn was +grinding. His name was Veit Bach, and his little boy was called Hans, +the Player, because he, too, loved to play the violin. + + [Illustration: VEIT BACH AND HIS SON HANS.] + +When Sebastian was ten years old his father and mother died. So he went +to live with his brother, whose home was a few miles away. + +Of this brother Sebastian had music lessons, and he improved so rapidly +that he used to beg to be allowed to play the pieces in a big book in +the library. + +But the brother refused him this pleasure. However, little Sebastian was +eager to learn all the music he could find, so he used to sit up on +moonlight nights and copy these pages while his brother was asleep. + +But what do you think happened when he had copied everything in that big +book? + +His brother found out what he had done and took all his precious music +away from him. + + [Illustration: BACH COPYING MUSIC BY MOONLIGHT.] + +If you know any boy who is about twenty years old you may say to him, +Bach was as old as you are when Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston. + +And although there was this difference of twenty years or so in their +ages, we may think of them at work in the world at the same time. You +must remember that all men like Franklin and Bach who became famous did +so by working very hard. + + [Illustration: BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.] + +Franklin, too, was born very poor. Once he walked the streets of +Philadelphia with a loaf of bread under each arm. But by being faithful +in all he did he became the friend of all his countrymen and of Kings +and Queens besides. + +Benjamin Franklin was quite a little younger than Sebastian Bach. But +there was a famous man who was almost exactly Sebastian's age. This man +composed an Oratorio that is loved by everybody. It is sung in cities +and towns all over the world, particularly at Christmas time. + +Do you happen to know the name of this Oratorio? If not, you can surely +learn it by asking someone or by looking it up in a book. + +Write in the name of the composer of this Oratorio below the picture, +and write on this line the name of the Oratorio itself. + + ............................................... + + [Illustration] + +The composer's name is + + ............................................... + +The Oratorio, the name of which you have just written, was first sung in +the Irish city of Dublin, 1742. + +At that time Sebastian Bach was living in Leipsic and had been for many +years at the head of the Thomas School. He was known as its Cantor. Bach +worked very hard here to supply music for several of the Leipsic +churches, and he worked so well that his fame spread until it reached +the ears of the Emperor. + +Frederick the Great was also a musician and composer. So he invited +Sebastian Bach to visit him at his castle. There were many people +present, but Sebastian Bach was the principal guest. He played on many +of the Emperor's fine pianos. When he reached home again he composed a +musical work and dedicated it to the Emperor. + + [Illustration: BACH PLAYING BEFORE FREDERICK THE GREAT.] + +The kind of a piano that Sebastian Bach played on was not called a piano +in his day. It was called a Clavier or Clavichord. + +Some day you will study a collection of pieces by Sebastian Bach which +was written for this instrument and was called _The Well Tempered +Clavichord_. + +This is the kind of piano, or clavichord, that Bach used. + + [Illustration: THE CLAVICHORD.] + +And here is the beginning of the very first piece in the collection of +which we have just spoken in Bach's handwriting. + + [Illustration: BACH'S HANDWRITING.] + + [Illustration: MORNING PRAYERS IN THE HOME OF JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH.] + +Sebastian Bach had a very large family, twenty children altogether. Two +of them studied music faithfully with their father. + +One was Friedmann, for whom the father wrote a book called _Little +Preludes_. Friedmann's brother, Philipp Emanuel Bach, was a very fine +clavichord player. He wrote a book about music and composed many pieces. + + [Illustration: WILLIAM FRIEDMANN BACH. PHILIPP EMANUEL BACH.] + +Sebastian Bach died in 1750. He was sixty-five years of age. + +Benjamin Franklin was at that time forty-four years old and George +Washington was eighteen. + +This is the way Bach wrote his name. + + [Illustration] + + + FACTS ABOUT SEBASTIAN BACH. + +Read these facts about Sebastian Bach and try to write his story out of +them, using your own words. + +When your story is finished ask your mother or your teacher to read it. +When you have made it as perfect as you can, copy it on pages 14, 15 and +16. + +1.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/34568.zip b/34568.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..9631f4c --- /dev/null +++ b/34568.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
