Bach was one of those people (I argue) who was not able not to write music. It had nothing to do with impressing in order to secure a position. Real talent leads a person.
Just out of curiosity: What biographies of Bach have you read ?
Or do you just sort of "feel" like you know the guy ? ;)
Best,

I have read his biographies, but I cannot say which. I don't remember the author.
I also would say that I also "feel" like I know the guy, yes. This comes out of the
general knowledge of how composers worked and how the lived in that era. I did quite
comprehensive reading on great composers in general at one period of my life.
Also, in Russia about ten, fifteen years ago music scene was many times less money oriented,
so I know how different it feels from what is going on now. It's simply what my experience tells me.
