Graupner and Bach - Filling Kuhnau's Boots

Catherine Bott explores how in the 18th century German composer Johann Christoph Graupner gave Bach vital help with his career.

The German composer Johann Christoph Graupner died in 1760. He is a composer who rather languishes in obscurity today, but he is probably best-known as the man who, along with Telemann, unwittingly gave a leg-up to the musical career of Johann Sebastian Bach. Catherine Bott explores this tale of three composers vying to fill the boots of the Kantor of the Thomaskirche, Leipzig - Johann Kuhnau.
