When his nephew Ernst August came to his part of the throne, he wanted to have a say, which resulted in hostility between the parties. When Bach defied Wilhelm's order not to play at Ernst August's wedding, that resulted in him not getting appointed Kappelmeister. The Johann Ernst that wrote the piece Bach arranged was only 17 when he died. I always thought he was a son of Wilhelm.
You'll have to forgive them about Johann Ernst though; keeping track of all the Saxon dukes and duchies could give anyone a headache! The confusion probably comes for the fact that Wilhelm Ernst ruled jointly with his brother Johann Ernst until 1707 but was allowed to do all the work by his alcoholic brother. Continued:
cont'd from above........Often we will never know unless we ask Bach directly.....However, what is most important is that we carry on a well thought out, fact based, discussion! Well done! I honestly have never read such impressive comments! I know the two of you probably aren't as impressed, as each want to make a point........but WOW! You Both made points, and it's obvious both have done your homework! Thanks for the additional info, and clarifications.........and knowledge!
wow! I just found this documentary and began reading the text. Thanks for opening my eyes, (as an adult, thank you!), and reminding me that we can't always believe everything we read or hear! Wcbroccoli, and AML2000, I am totally amazed at the background knowledge you have, and the professional way in which you carried out your debate! The conversation between the two of you is almost more interesting than the documentary! Bravo! It's not always who's right or wrong....

Thank u for posting. J.S.Bach is one of my most favorite composers ever. He was the genius one.
the best composer on earth for ever
