|
Born: December 1, 1703 - Annaberg, Erzgebirge, Saxony, Germany
Died: after 1745 - (Grimma?) |
|
Johann Andreas Kuhnau (= JAK) was born the son of Andreas Kuhnau (Kantor in Annaberg). He was nephew of Johann Kuhnau (1660-1722), who was the predecessor of J.S. Bach as Thomaskantor.
Johann Andreas Kuhnau enrolled at the Thomasschule in Leipzig on June 16, 1718; studied there from 1718 to 1728; and at Universität Leipzig from 1719. studied privately with J.S. Bach and was J.S. Bach main copyist in Leipzig from 1723 to 1728. In 1729 he was appointed Kantor at Grimma. Like other J.S. Bach pupils, he also acted as copyist. He was, in fact, one of J.S. Bach's principal copyists at Leipzig, and is perhaps the most reliable and productive copyist that J.S. Bach ever used. He was identified in the earlier J.S. Bach literature as Anonymous 3, or Hauptkopyst A.
