Carl Gottbelf Gerlach was a German organist. He attended the Thomasschule in Leipzig between 1716 and 1723, and probably studied with J.S. Bach in the 1720’s. In 1727 he enrolled in Leipzig University, and in 1729 was appointed organist of the Neukirche there. Up to that time the organist of the Neukirche had always directed the collegium musicum that Georg Philipp Telemann founded in Leipzig in the early years of the century, but in 1729 J.S. Bach himself took charge of the collegium musicum. Gerlach, however, took over from J.S. Bach for a couple of years between 1737 and 1739. |
