Michael Bach (born 17 April 1958 in Worms, Germany), also known as Michael Bach Bachtischa, is a German cellist, composer, and visual artist. ==Biography== He studied cello with Gerhard Mantel, Boris Pergamenschikow, Pierre Fournier and Janos Starker, then embarked on a career of international concert activity as well as performances on radio, recordings, and television.〔Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians, Centennial Edition, Vol. 1, pages 173/174〕 He made numerous significant contributions to the art of contemporary cello performance; his publication ''Fingerboards & Overtones'' proposes new ideas concerning overtones and harmonics and is considered a pioneering work in the literature on contemporary technique.〔http://www.zeit.de/1991/50/der-zwang-zur-freiheit?page=2 "Der Wert dieser Pionierarbeit für Komponisten und Interpreten ist nicht hoch genug einzuschätzen." ''Die Zeit'' (1991)〕 In 1990 he developed the curved bow (''BACH.Bogen'') for the cello, violin, and viola, which, in polyphonic playing, permits the simultaneous sounding of multiple strings, with the high arch of the bow allowing for full, sustained chords. During the years 1997 and 2001 Mstislav Rostropovich has been intimately involved in its development.〔http://www.bach-bogen.de/mstislav-rostropovich.html Cooperation with Mstislav Rostropovich (1997-2001)〕 In 2001 he invited Michael Bach to Paris for a presentation of his ''BACH.Bow'' (7ème Concours de violoncelle Rostropovitch).〔http://www.cello.org/Newsletter/Articles/bachbogen/bachbogen.htm Presentation of the BACH.Bogen in Paris (2001)〕 In 2012, during an exhibition on the theme ''BACHLAEUFE - The Imprint of Johann Sebastian Bach on Modern Times'', held at Arnstadt, Germany, the First Prize was awarded to the BACH.Bow. Several contemporary composers, among them John Cage, Dieter Schnebel, Walter Zimmermann and Hans Zender, have composed works especially for the ''BACH.Bow''. Bach Bachtischa is also a composer. His purely musical compositions are idiosyncratic and highly personal, described by him as “free from compositional conventions.” In collaboration with the visual artist Renate Hoffleit he has created strikingly original string installations.〔http://www.michael-bach-bachtischa.de/string-installation.html String Installations〕 Michael Bach's visual works include ''Fingerboards'' (1990–2010), which capture the hand’s choreography on the cello fingerboard as color impressions, ''Fieldwork'' (1994), ''Mit diesen beiden Händen'' (1994), ''Lagauche'' (1995), and ''Olévano'' (1995-). The German postage stamp ''75 Jahre Donaueschinger Musiktage, Deutschland 1996'' shows his composition and drawing ''18-7-92, Scetches to Ryoanji'' (1992).〔http://www.michael-bach-bachtischa.de/sonderbriefmarke-donaueschinger-musiktage.html German postage stamp „75 Jahre Donaueschinger Musiktage, Deutschland“ (1996)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Bach (musician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
