After his father's death, when Johann Christian was 15, he worked with his second-oldest half brother Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, who was twenty-one years his senior and considered at the time to be the most musically gifted of Bach's sons. Even so, his father first instructed him in music and that instruction continued until his death. His distinguished father was already 50 at the time of his birth, which would perhaps contribute to the sharp differences between his music and that of his father. Johann Christian Bach was born to Johann Sebastian and Anna Magdalena Bach in Leipzig, Germany. He is noted for influencing the concerto style of Mozart. He is sometimes referred to as 'the London Bach' or 'the English Bach', due to his time spent living in the British capital. Johann Christian Bach (Septem? January 1, 1782) was a composer of the Classical era, the eleventh and youngest son of Johann Sebastian Bach.
