Compared with most other major composers, johann sebastian bach's life and career are confined to a very limited geographical space. Born and raised in Thuringia, he has never been farther north than Hamburg and Lubeck, nor farther south than Carlsbad. In the same limited way, his east-west range extends from Dresden (east) to Kassel (west). His complete geographical space can be found in Christopher Wolff's great academic book "Bach Studies" (Chr. Wolff, Bach, papers on his life and music. Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts. , 199 1).

The small map on the current page (from a Dutch book about Bach: J. Rubinstein, L. Van Hasselt, T. Koopman, Bach. Petra, Zutefen, 1985) shows the place where Bach actually lives and works.
