Vincent Bach [SEP] place of birth
Vincent Bach
Vincent Bach (March 24, 1890 in Baden bei Wien – January 8, 1976 in New York City) was a musician and instrument maker, who founded the Vincent Bach Corporation.
Vincent Schrotenbach.
He was born as Vincent Schrotenbach in Baden bei Wien near Vienna, Austria. He received training on the violin and bugle as a youth switching to trumpet at age 12. At age 15, he purchased his first instrument, a rotary valve trumpet. Bach desired to be a musician, but that
called "Bachhaus" (Bach House). In 1868, the local music society dedicated the memorial plate above the front entrance, thus publicly marking the place as Bach's birthplace. Since then, however, no further evidence in support of this claim has surfaced. An error in the local oral tradition which Bitter encountered can perhaps be attributed to the fact that members of the Bach family did indeed live in this house once, but only at a time long after Bach's birth.
