    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?

    TIA

    Mozart was a born January 27 what are you talking about

    J.S. Bach died in 1750; Mozart was born in 1756.
    If they met, it was in the hereafter.
    (But oh, what heavenly music they might have made.)

    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.

    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.

    Christian

    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.
