What could possibly go wrong? For one thing, Johann needs to stop using that phrase. — How do you manage to be acquitted of attempted murder , serve time under house arrest, drive students crazy, alienate city councils, sire 20/21 children , and still have your music included on the Voyager spacecraft? Kind of a funny story. A Mostly True Story of Johann Sebastian Bach, a Humorous Semi-Autobiography, Co-authored by David Jordan and Johann Sebastian Bach (in Absentia), is just that. Get ready for an entertaining journey behind the scenes of an incredible story. Outrageous legends, Mostly true facts , and spectacular urban rumors lie ahead with the turn of every page . You may find this book a little irreverent , wry, cheeky, satirical, and absurd, because… well, it is. If you have ever been overlooked despite your abilities and diligent work, join the club. For Johann Sebastian Bach this was a common occurrence. What’s comical about that? You’ll find it right here. — Oh, and one more thing . Impressing Johann by telling him about my MA in Music Composition didn’t work. However, creating, and performing multimedia organ concerts about him, worked. Here are some of the mostly true reviews… “” I was enthralled when I saw a painting of Anna Magdalena. She was quite elegant and stunning. Johann Sebastian Bach’s a lucky guy. “”— W.A. Mozart “”The stories in this book had my heart pounding from beginning to end…historical fiction like you’ve never read before. Some of the rumors are not true.”” Anna Magdalena Bach. “”There are and always will be thousands of princes, but there is only one Beethoven! Oh sorry, yes, ahm… Bach. He was a great example.”” Ludwig van Beethoven “”Okay so I had to leave town rather abruptly, but Johann Sebastian Bach took over control of the Collegium Musicum just fine. Thanks, Johann .”” Georg Philipp Telemann “”Though he drank an unimaginable amount of coffee (on the house I might add), Johann Sebastian Bach brought in lots of customers and money. So, overall, I’m pretty happy.”” Gottfried Zimmerman of Zimmerman’s coffee house, Leipzig. “”If I was to pass on to my grandkids a story that was more funnier, I couldn’t.”” Frequent Patron of Zimmerman’s coffee house. I wish we had this book in 1750. It is so humorous. We could have used it .”” F. Schmitgarden. “”That German guy? What about him? G.F. trading “”The semi-autobiographer of this semi-autobiography is obviously a genius. Although I don’t know how he walked around with Bach and still is alive. Truthfully, it is a little confusing about which one is in absentia, but I am glad he did/is/what.”” R. Kleinschmitt —- ISBN: 9798333508546
