The Silencie Before Bach

Synopsis

Johan Sebastian Bach moves to Leipzig with his family. He has been asked to take the position of Canto at St. Thomas School. Bach, fervent devout and tireless worker, is also modest and his social status is far from privileged. He has found no recognition for his music yet, the talent he pours into his compositions is to grow over the years. Greatness will be granted in years to come. From this mere anecdote, the story unfolds into a rich tapestry of art, history, and above all, the hard work and discipline which musical creation entails, as well as the different jobs and small tasks involved in it.
