Bahov personalni identitet u baroknoj epohi

Abstract

Personal identity does not represent just a continuity in time, but a reflexive consciousness - self-consciousness, such as 'I' that understands its own biography. In order for an individual to become 'I', he needs to have an idea about himself in a sense of a developed authenticity. Bach was a person, a personal identity who understood his own 'I', his creative opus. His own personality and Baroque style features are put to the forefront in his compositions. The needs for security and for emotional acceptance in the community are important components of a personal identity. Bach came from a musical family and therefore his needs were acceptable by the community in which he lived. The maturity of the identity is a process and it can be seen in his musical opus especially through the periods characterized by significant advances typical of Baroque style. Bach reached the balance of his personality in his third creative opus. Social maturity is also important and it includes a more developed ability for the true and accurate estimation of others. Bach was familiar with the entire vocal and instrumental opus, from Palestrino to Buxtehude.
