Bach (family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johann Sebastian Bach

The Bach family was a widely ramified family of musicians, from which numerous city musicians, organists and composers came from in central Germany from the second half of the 16th century to the middle of the 19th century . The best known and most influential among them was Johann Sebastian Bach .

There are four main lines for this family of artists :

The Bach family dominated the musical life in Erfurt for more than a century to such an extent that all town pipers were still called "Bache" in 1793 , although none of them lived by that name for a long time. More than 60 child baptisms, weddings and family funerals are registered in the church registers of the Kaufmannskirche alone.
