RE: J.S. Bach in the House
IIRC, Bach wanted to take a better job at Anhalt-Cothen and was put in jail
for "resigning too eagerly" by his employer (the Duke of Weimar ?). It's
been awhile since I read this.

I'm not sure of the crime, but I know JSB was treated well
in prison -- they
gave him his own Suite, with a full set of keys, and
occasionally he was
allowed to go out into a Chorale.
Toccata go now --

Really? J.S. did some time in the Big House?
I guess I missed that part. What was the charge...
too many parallel octaves in a Burlesca? Fill us in, Bob...
