Bach, Wilhelm Friedemann (22 November 1710 – 1 July 1784)

Bourlesca in A minor from 18 Pieces for Musical Clock. Pieces for a music-box based on the musical mechanism of a wall clock from the castle in Koethen. These pieces were formerly attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach as BWV Anh.133-150.
August Klughardt wrote in 1897 in the foreword to the volume in Breitkopf und Hartel: "His Highness the Duke Friedrich von Anhalt, my most gracious gentleman, owns an old magnificent wall clock (harp clock) with a musical mechanism, the charming tunes of which are original compositions by Seb. Bach from the period 1717-1723, when he was in the service of Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Cothen." so it is said in oral traditions.
According to E. Simon they are from Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (22 November 1710-1 July 1784 - composer and performer, the second child and eldest son of Johann Sebastian Bach and Maria Barbara Bach. Despite his acknowledged genius as an organist, improviser and composer, his income and employment were unstable and he died in poverty.)
