    Finished another cantata for Sunday. Leipzig's churchgoers aren't gonna know what hit them LOL.

    Who needs a music teacher when you can teach yourself? Self-taught and still composing. #ImGoated

    Sorau's court orchestra is sounding better than ever. You're welcome Polish nobles.

    French overtures? Magnificent. Add some German counterpoint, and you've got something special. #BaroquePerfection

    Telemann, you appreciate le grand style! Keep spreading the elegance!

    Eisenach calling! New gig, new city, same #passion. Time to bring the music to life.

    Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual.

    Well said! I feel that music can always touch both the soul and the ear.

    Directing the Frankfurt collegium musicum now. Public concerts, what a concept! #progress

    Declined the Thomaskirche job… let's see if this Bach guy can handle it.

    Just got an offer from the Russian court. Tempting, but I feel like Hamburg needs me more.

    Five churches, one opera, and public concerts… Hamburg keeps me so busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

    Harmony is the foundation of music. One chord can change everything

    True, but don't sleep on a good melody. People need something to hum!#melodyontop

    Does anyone else compose faster than they can write it down, or is that just me?

    Need a new challenge? Try composing over 3,000 pieces. That should keep you occupied. #busy

    A good melody should be as natural as breathing. If you have to think too hard, it's not the right one!

    You make it sound so easy! Some of us had to write thousands of pieces to figure that out.

    The #violin is not just an instrument, it's a voice, a storyteller, a force of nature!

    Absolutely! The violin speaks in ways words never could.

    Opera is grand, but have you ever composed a church cantata under a deadline?

    Try writing for royal deadlines, late notes aren't an option when the king is listening!

    Keyboard music should be bold! If your hands don't hurt a little, you're not playing it right.#HotTake

    Now this is a philosophy I can get behind! My sonatas will give your fingers a workout.

    Keep practicing, keep composing, and don't let anyone tell you music isn't a real career.

    Music isn't just for nobility, it belongs to the people. That's why it should be published for all to play!

    So true! Art should be for everyone, not just the elite.
