Question: Did Mozart meet J.S. Bach?

[scsigurl2020]

One of my students says she read that Mozart met J.S. Bach at some
point, but I never encountered that information. Is that true?

I know Haydn and Mozart were friends (and Haydn's famous remark about
Wolfgang, to Leopold, that his son was the greatest composer, etc.),
and I believe Beethoven took some lessons, briefly, early on, from
Haydn (?). But Mozart and Bach?

I doubt it very much because J.S. Bach died on 28 July 1750 and
Wolfgang Amadeus was born in Salzburg on 1 January 1756. Around 5 and
a half years after the death of J.S.

Perhaps the student read that Mozart "encountered" J. S. Bach -- meaning
that he became acquainted with his music. That happened some time after
he was born, and has often been considered to have been an important
influence on the younger composer.

Mozart did know Johann Christian Bach, J. S. Bach's youngest son, whom he
met in London when he (Mozart) was a child.

If they met, it was in the hereafter.

You can't be serious. The post had the wrong date, but correct year and you're attacking the post?

I could understand if the comment was off by years, but off by 26 days, that's just complaining for the sake of complaining.

If anything it was a family member, since Bach died 6 years before
Mozart was born.

Mozart was born Jan 27, 1756.
But Haydn was born in 1732, I wonder if he ever met Bach.

Mozart hadn’t met J.S.Bach, but he met his son, Johann Christian Bach who was a composer and great music teacher, he gave Mozart many lessons in Music. Some say that J.C Bach was Mozart’s teacher beside his father.
