In 1764 Bach met with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was aged eight at the time and had been brought to London by his father.[9] Bach then spent five months teaching Mozart in composition.[9] Bach is widely regarded as having a strong influence on the young Mozart, with scholars such as Téodor de Wyzewa and Georges de Saint-Foix describing him as "The only, true teacher of Mozart".[9] Mozart arranged three sonatas from Bach's Op. 5 into keyboard concertos, and in later life Mozart "often acknowledged the artistic debt he owed" to Johann Christian.[10] Upon hearing of Bach's death in 1782, Mozart commented, "What a loss to the musical world!"[11]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-729.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-729.txt
