Köthen is a Saxon-Anhaltian town. J. S. Bach {see planet (1814)} was the princely conductor there during 1717–1723, becoming the friend and travel attendant of the art-loving duke Leopold of Anhalt-Köthen. In Köthen Bach composed most of his chamber music, including all six Brandenburg concerti. (M 38199) _ _.
