He enrolled at the Thomasschule in Leipzig on July 6, 1740; and studied there from 1740 to 1746, since June 17, 1738 already as external. As a Thomaner he was in Choir III (in the New Church) from May 17, 1744 (Pentecost) to June 6, 1745 (Pentecost). Although he attended the Thomasschule during J.S.
