Légende

'By the light of the moon he began his task', (1907).The young Bach, despite having been forbidden to do so, copies out sheet music at night: 'and by the light of the moon, which still streamed into the room, he feasted his eyes upon the pages before him. Then, taking his pen and some manuscript music-paper with which he had provided himself, he began his task of copying out the pieces contained in the book'. An episode from the life of German composer Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). From "Story-Lives of Great Musicians", by F.J. Rowbotham. [Wells Gardner, Darton & Co. Ltd, London, 1907]
