Who was Gottfried Heinrich Bach?
Gottfried Heinrich Bach was the firstborn son of Johann Sebastian Bach by his second wife Anna Magdalena Wilcke.
Born in Leipzig, Gottfried Heinrich became "feeble-minded" at an early age, but he played the keyboard well and C. P. E. Bach is quoted as saying that he showed "a great genius, which however failed to develop". From 1750 he lived with his brother-in-law Johann Christoph Altnikol. He died in Naumburg.
