Second-to-youngest surviving son of Johann
Sebastian Bach and father of Wilhelm Friedrich Ernst, Johann Christoph Friedrich
became court chamber musician at Bückeburg in the same year as his father's death. Known as the "Bückeburg" Bach, Johann Christoph Friedrich composed
oratorios, symphonies, cantatas, keyboard works, songs, and concertos.
Johann Christoph Friedrich perpetuated a venerable name among the
Bach's.
Johann Sebastian's elder brother, uncle, and second cousin all
shared the name Johann Christoph.
