4 days ago · Wilhelm was J.S. Bach’s eldest son with his first wife, Maria Barbara Bach. His early life slightly mirrors that of his father: he lost his mother when he was ten years old. W.F. Bach inherited much of his father’s talent and was a gifted improviser. Unfortunately, his great talent also came with a drinking problem.

Not because of their talent, but because their older siblings got so much more time with their dad. And if you’re a Bach, “time with dad” means “time learning music.” J.C.F. went off to (again) the University...
The youngest Bach boy was only a teenager when his father died. J.C. received a sizable inheritance (including three harpsichords) and eventually moved in with his older brother and music teacher Carl Philipp Emanuel. But in 1754, he moved to Italy where he *gasp* converted to Catholicism and became an organist at Milan Cathedral. It was there that...
