Dear Howard and All:
There's a letter from Bach to the Leipzig city council mentioning the
shortcomings of the forces at hand and requesting additional resources. A
good source for this subject is a recent book entitled "The True Life of
J.S. Bach" by Klaus Eidam.
Yours,
Jim

Is there evidence of Bach's dismay at the performances of his cantatas?
