Kapellmeister

My kapellmeister's life seems a dream, a thing of the past, my enthusiastic fondness for music a youthful folly!

This triumph was followed by Bach's appointment as Kapellmeister to the duke of Cthen, a post which he held from 1717 to 1723.

On visiting Strassburg, after a sojourn in Italy, in the year 1789, he was made Kapellmeister of the cathedral.

I should like a good post extremely, but nothing less than kapellmeister—and well paid.
