Thank you very much. I'm trying to be as personal as possible, showing the man as I believe he must have been, with his flaws and strengths and especially with his tragic moments as there were a lot of those.
Thank you very much! We hardly know anything about who Bach must have been as a person, so this series is just as much speculation as any other biography. Though It's certain that Bach suffered many tragedies in his life and that's one of the most important angles I used. After all, he was just an ordinary man who, coincidentally, got bestowed with an extraordinary talent. 😊
Congratulations ,Sir Peter Fielding ! I confess that i look forward to each episode . Very documented and that corresponds to my deepest expectations , as a lover of Bach ' s music and the Bach 's man .I wish you that the grace of God be with you fully !
Thank you very much, Alexandru, your words mean a lot to me. It's comments like yours that keep me going and I'm happy to read that you seem to agree with my view of who Bach must have been as a person. It's a lot of guesswork because we know next to nothing about him. Thank you once again!
Mr.Peter Fielding , I empatthize with you and I realize how importanat feedback is to feel the pulse my followers , because this way the communication between us is clearer . I consider your animation project to be very successful and complex , more successful than any biographical or documentary film . Even if the biographical data than currently exist regarding Johann Sebastian Bach are limited , you have decoded the rest of the data you need from his music , which is a sublime language ,that is not available to anyone,but only to those who love with all their being on Bach . I personally like the way you drawn the man Johann Sebastian Bach and his permanent relationship with his Creator , to whom he dedicated all his works. Not what we do is important , but what God does through us can have eternal value, and Bach is certainly a man of this category . I really appreciate all the details in your work ,from the musical works chosen with the greatest care to every tear that plays in the eyes of the characters ,it is obvious that it involves a huge work ,but is clear that what you do you do wit your soul. No actor would have managed to meet all your expectations ,but a cartoon character that you gave life to with all its characteristics is the expression of your sensitive heart and soul .I wish you success and inspiration in continuing and completing this soul project and I look forward to future episodes . Thank you for delighting our hearts !@@BachTheAnimatedSeries
@@alexandruciobanu9434 Dear Alexandru, I'm deeply moved by your words... actually, I'm speechless. Your comment has made it all worthwhile for me. I've indeed tried to look beyond the ordinary biography, of which there are already so many, and to focus on the man. Sometimes I've altered the facts a bit as well, as I'm sure you will have noticed, to benefit the story and to make it more attractive/dramatic also for people who don't know Bach. Hopefully you'll also appreciate that in the series Bach will not remain as steady in his faith as is generally believed, but that he'll even come in conflict with it after all the hardship he had to go through. After 1730 he won't even compose a single religious piece anymore, apart from perhaps the Mass in H which is more an encyclopedic piece rather than religious. Bach as a person wasn't superman and I'd like to show him as such, with his emotions, doubts and so much pain. Thank you once more for your comment!
@@BachTheAnimatedSeries Mr.Peter Fielding , I 'll hold your attention for a little longer , I promise . I confess that in June , browsing the site bachonbach.com I found references about your animated film and I allowed myself a royal (being on vacation for a few days) to watch all 11 episodes . I actually enjoyed them ,moment ant I was sadas I approached the last episode , knowinng that nothing was coming ...for now . I then read that the editing of an episode takes some time , so I am in a frantic wait for the next episodes . I wrote with pleasure because you offered me a real delight , as it rarely attracted my attention for a long time .I set out to make time in the following days to review all the 11 episodes leisurelly , to analyse more the details and to capture all the characteristics of the Bach man . I wish you a wonderful evening and a beautiful heart !
@@alexandruciobanu9434 Dear Alexandru, yes, unfortunately it takes months to finish an episode. It's just me doing everything, drawings, animation, voices and music... so you'll have to be a bit patient for number 13 (there are actually 12 already finished). Yet I can already tell you that the first scene of 13 is already finished, but on the other hand I'm afraid that it will become the longest episode to date. We'll see... Thank you once again for your kind support. If I could just ask one small thing... if you like my work so much, could you please share it or make some publicity for it? It would mean so much to me...
Thank you very much, Sebastian! You're very kind. :-) You'll notice an evolution though because in the beginning I didn't know anything about animation...
@@neilwalsh3977 Thank you for this! We actually know close to nothing about who Bach was as a person so most of it are just wild guesses and a bit of fantasy, but I'm very happy that you seem to share my view.
Amigo¡ Gracias por este hermoso trabajo. Vi el primer episodio esta mañana y no he podido detenerme. For me this work could be named "Spitta´s Companion"
Your dramatization well shows--and most effectively--the terribleness of refusing baptism to an infant who had died. So it is of some (admittedly small) comfort, then, to learn from "Bach: The Learned Musician" that Johann Christoph did receive an emergency baptism, the day he was born--and, sadly, died: February 23, 1713.
I wasn't aware that Wolff mentioned this and if he writes it, then there's a high probability that Christoph did indeed receive this "emergency" baptism. Though from what I know, this must have been quite exceptional at the time as many puritans effectively believed that a dead-born child carried the sin of its parents. Whatever the truth is, I'd like to show that Bach's faith was severely put to the test during his l8fe, even up to the point that he didn't produce any religious work anymore for the last 20 years of his life. He was a man, definitely an emotional one, so I'd prefer to show him like this, rather than the polished "perfect man with indestructible faith" as he's too often portrayed.
In the previous episode he behaved arrogantly, talking badly about the (also arrogant) Frenchman and showing off to humiliate him. Since the twins died during and soon after birth, in my imagination I saw God punishing Bach for using his talent in the wrong way. Well, I thought it made a good story anyway. 😊
“Anything but cheerful!” :) But this was a powerful & extraordinary episode - thank you for treating it so sensitively :)

I’m honestly so glad I found this series and I’ve binged all of the episodes they’re just amazing!!
Thank you very much, I'm so glad that you like it. Your words mean a lot to me! 😊
This series gives great new insights into Sebe’s life. Who knows how much the pain of the loss of his children made him writes his own blues.

Thanks so much from a Bach lover in Tokyo. I just found your channel today, 1/1/2024!
Thank you very much! I hope you like the rest of my channel as well and I wish you all the best for 2024! 😊

So impressive. A wonderful work. I really have to start to watch it from the beginning. :)

@@BachTheAnimatedSeries bach wasn't puritan
Remember God Himself was buried as a criminal near the noose
That clergyman--with theological views like that, no wonder the Anabaptists arose and flourished at the time . .
It were strange days with so many protestant fractions, all pretending that they had the one true faith... :-(
Great episode, but I'm with Bach on this one ajaj what's to blame from him?
In the previous episode he behaved arrogantly, talking badly about the (also arrogant) Frenchman and showing off to humiliate him. Since the twins died during and soon after birth, in my imagination I saw God punishing Bach for using his talent in the wrong way. Well, I thought it made a good story anyway. 😊
Crying newborn baby child 3.WAV my sound :-)
I'm honoured that you allow us animators to use it. It was just what I needed. :-)
