요한 크리스토프 프리드리히 바흐는 아버지 J. S. 바흐의 사촌 요한 엘리아스 바흐에게 배웠고, 1750년 뷔케부크의 빌헬름 백작 실내악단에서 연주자로 지내다가 1758년경 그곳의 악장이 되었다. 지속적으로 음악 활동을 했고 작품도 다방면에 걸쳐 있다. 바로크 후기 양식에서 전기 고전주의 양식으로 전환하는 데 크게 이바지한 그의 작품은 인기가 좋았지만 시대를 앞서간 것은 아니었고 다만 시대의 흐름을 따라가는 데 그쳤다.

후기 교향곡들 정도가 하이든 교향곡과 양식상 유사함을 보일 뿐이다. 모테트, 오라토리오(시인 요한 고트프리트 폰 헤르더가 가사를 씀), 피아노 소나타, 실내 칸타타, 실내악 등도 작곡했다.

 

Born in Leipzig in the Electorate of Saxony, he was taught music by his father, and also tutored by his distant cousin Johann Elias Bach (de). He studied at the St. Thomas School, and some believe he studied law at the university there, but there is no record of that. In 1750, William, Count of Schaumburg-Lippe appointed Johann Christoph harpsichordist at Bückeburg, and in 1759, he became concertmaster. While there, Bach collaborated with Johann Gottfried Herder, who provided the texts

for six vocal works; the music survives for only four of these.

Bach wrote keyboard sonatas, symphonies, oratorios, liturgical choir pieces and motets, operas and songs. Because of Count Wilhelm's predilection for Italian music, Bach had to adapt his style accordingly, but he retained stylistic traits of the music of his father and of his brother, C. P. E. Bach.

He married the singer Lucia Elisabeth Münchhausen (1728–1803) in 1755^[1] and the Count stood as godfather to his son Wilhelm Friedrich Ernst Bach.

 

J.C.F. educated his son in music as his own father had, and Wilhelm Friedrich Ernst went on to become music director to Frederick William II of Prussia.

In April 1778 he and Wilhelm travelled to England to visit Johann Christian Bach.

 

J. C. F. Bach died 1795 in Bückeburg, aged 62.

The 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica says of him "He was an industrious composer, ... whose work reflects no discredit on the family name." He was an outstanding virtuoso of the keyboard, with a reasonably wide repertory of surviving works, including twenty symphonies, the later ones influenced by Haydn and Mozart; hardly a genre of vocal music was neglected by him.^[2]

Professor Peter Schickele, in comparing his alter ego, the fictitious composer P. D. Q. Bach, to Johann Sebastian's other sons, said that P. D. Q. possessed "the obscurity of Johann Christoph Friedrich."

A significant portion of J. C. F. Bach's output was lost in the WWII destruction of the Staatliches Institut für Musikforschung in Berlin, where the scores had been on deposit since 1917. Musicologists Hansdieter Wohlfahrth, who catalogued his works, and Ulrich Leisinger consider Bach a transitional figure in the mold of his half-brother C. P. E., his brother Johann Christian, the Grauns (Carl and Johann), and Georg Philipp Telemann, with some works in the style of the high Baroque, some in a galant idiom, and still others which combine elements of the two, along with traits of the nascent classical style.
