The date is May 7, 1747. The place is Potsdam, in the Kingdom of Prussia….about 15 miles from the capital city of Berlin. In the newly built summer palace of King Frederick the Great, the day was drawing to a close as it usually did – with an evening concert in the palace’s large music room. But due to the surprise appearance of J.S. Bach to court the, the music slated for that evening would have to wait! Nonetheless, this would indeed be a memorable evening of music making, and the night's events would lead to the creation of one of Bach's most interesting and impressive works....the "Musical Offering"!
Join Dr. Watson as he tells the fascinating story surrounding the creation of J.S. Bach's "Musical Offering."
