Bach Cities and Bach Places: Potsdam, Brandenburg, Germany

1 Why Is Potsdam one of the Bach Cities?

Is Potsdam Bach city or Bach place? Potsdam is a great Bach city in category C.

Actually, Potsdam belongs into the category A of all Bach cities. However, in the sense of our list he hasn't lived there for a while, nor has he worked there for a while. Anyway, from a musical perspective, it probably was the peak of Johann Sebastian Bach's career. That is to say, when he finally followed several requests of the King of Prussia and performed for Friedrich II in his newly constructed palace. Bach's son Carl Philipp Emanuel made music as a musician for the king at that time. In many a biography of the composer this visit and the creation of "The Musical Sacrifice" is a "last exciting"story" in Bach's life. That happened in the year 1746.

It's worth to mention that they assume, that Bach already in 1741 visited his son Carl Philipp Emanuel in Potsdam.
