The musician Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 – 1750) has a major presence in Leipzig, Germany. As one walks across the streets of Leipzig, one will find Bach’s presence in the form of symbols and statues. His presence is felt both in the lavish churches and in the open markets, which indicates his influence in the period. A museum adjoining St. Thomas’ church has many musical instruments and notes that belonged to Bach. When I visited this place, the organ was being played, and the quality of the acoustics was excellent. Below are a few snapshots from the visit (15th Sept 2025).
