Gottfried Heinrich Bach (born: 26 February 1724 – funeral: 12 February 1763) was a child of Johann Sebastian Bach and the firstborn son of his second wife, Anna Magdalena Bach. He was born in Leipzig, where his parents had moved the year before his birth. Gottfried Heinrich became "feeble-minded" (careless, shallow) at an early age, but in his childhood he played the keyboard well and C. P. E. Bach said he showed "a great genius, which however failed to develop". After his father's death in 1750, Gottfried Heinrich continued to live with his mother. Read more on Wikipedia
