Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, Johann Sebastian Bach's eldest son, was born in Weimar in 1710. After disagreeing with the church authorities, he gave up his permanent duties as organist in Halle and chose instead to live in Berlin as a freelance musician "without commitments". His works are all in the pre-revolutionary spirit of Sturm und Drang (storm and stress).
