- Johann Sebastian Bach
- Johann Sebastian Bach (Q1339)
- Bach-Archiv Leipzig, "Johann Sebastian Bach — A Chronology" -- the primary scholarly-institutional biography maintained by the leading Bach research archive, covering the Weimar (1708-1717), Köthen (1717-1723) and Leipzig (1723-1750) employment periods, the weekly cantata-production requirement, and the 1724 (Görner), 1730 (Entwurff memorandum) and 1736 (Ernesti) professional disputes. Fetched and read directly.
- David Hamer, "J.S. Bach and J.A. Ernesti: Similarities Today", LOGIA (Lutheran theological journal) -- detailed, dated scholarly account of the 1736-1738 Bach-Ernesti prefect dispute, quoting Bach's own complaint letters to the Leipzig town council (12/13/15/19 August 1736) and the council/consistory/royal decrees that followed. Fetched and read directly.
- George B. Stauffer, "The Master Recycler", The New York Review of Books (20 December 2018) -- press/scholarly review of musicologist Daniel R. Melamed's research on Bach's practice of reworking earlier compositions into later major works (St Mark Passion, Christmas Oratorio, Mass in B Minor). Fetched and read directly.
- BBC Music Magazine / classical-music.com, "Why music's greatest composer was thrown in jail" -- reports the Weimar ducal court secretary's contemporaneous 1717 minutes recording Bach's arrest. Fetched and read directly.
- Robert Greenberg (musicologist), "Music History Monday: J.S. Bach, Jailbird" -- independently-authored account of the same 1717 Weimar court secretary's record, with a slightly different translation and additional biographical context (Bach's promotion being passed over, the offer from Prince Leopold of Köthen). Fetched and read directly. Reports on the SAME underlying 1717 archival record as src_bach_weimar_classicalmusic -- treated as a second, independently-authored secondary account corroborating one primary document, not as a fully separate incident.
