Of J.S.Bach’s 20 children, only ten survived to adulthood; 5 boys and 5 girls by my calculations. This is typical of the child mortality rate in those days. However 4 of the boys became renowned composers but it is sad the girls were never provided the opportunity to explore their musical talents. Had females been given the same treatment as males, the baroque/classical repertoire could have been twice as rich!

If you want to be precise: 4 women (3 of them died in poverty) and 6 men grew to adulthood. Nevertheless, I embrace your statement!

Why does it mention Bach being taught "piano"? There was no piano. I believe the narrator meant harpsichord, but that seems like an odd mistake since the word "piano" would have to have been written? I'm just wondering how that error got in there? ~JSV

Mozart was buried in an unmarked ‘simple’ grave (not a communal pit), which was standard for Vienna’s middle class at that time.

This was fun to watch and quite instructive. Also enjoyable was the dialogue in the German language. I would only suggest more substantial discussion of the music. The Well-Tempered Klavier is not mentioned and it would be nice to know a little more about the Masses, the Brandenburg Concertos, the famous Chaconne for violin in d minor. But thank you very much for putting this on for viewing.

A couple more errors: At 3:33, Bach attends the 'EisenBach Latin School'??????? I don't think so. He never went that far from Eisenach. Moreover, shortly after this statement, we hear the strains of 'Ave Maria' sung by a vocalist, presumably intended to sound like 'little Sebastian singing in a lovely, pure soprano voice'???? Nope. Bach never did/would never compose a song/prayer to Mary. That is a concoction by Gounod, composed more than 150 years after Bach's birth. And Bach was Lutheran, not Roman Catholic. Lutherans don't pray to Mary; she cannot hear nor respond to prayers.

I'm sure you know that Bach greatly admired Vivaldi for what he regarded as his multi-dimensional frivolity and exuberance that in some ways is found in Bach's secular cantatas (see the fantastic Netherlands Bach Society's rendition of the Kaffeeekantata) and, of course, in his harpsichord concertos particularly BWV 1065 an incredible version under the aegis of Alexandra Korenva). Bach added much stronger counterpoint and depth. I think that Vivaldi always started a work with a brilliant display of fireworks that he found difficult to maintain and Bach was able to extend that in my view. Good luck with the project.

Of course Vivaldi wrote the greatest Op.3 in history which Bach transcribed and helped to revive Vivaldi’s work which amazingly became quite obscure after the Italian composer’s death. Strange how that often happens to artists; in their time they were not appreciated as much as they are today.

Most of present-day Germany switched to the Gregorian calendar in the early 18th century, but Bach's hometown of Eisenach was still using the Julian calendar when Bach died. Once the Gregorian calendar became standard throughout most of Europe in the mid-18th century, Bach's birthday jumped from March 21 to March 31!

Odd that there is no mention of several key works that define Bach's career in music- Well-tempered Klavier, Art of Fugue, Musical Offering, B minor Mass, St. Matthew Passion and others. His face keeps changing but rarely looks much like him for some reason. There are reliable portraits to aid with this aspect.

A Slovenian "joke." When Mozart ascended to heaven he was met by St. Peter who said he was commissioned to take him directly to God. An overwhelmed Mozart could hardly contain his emotions upon being presented to God who astounded him even further by offering the position of Kapellmeister. Mozart said but was unworthy of that position and said surely it must go to Bach. God replied: That is impossible because I am Bach.

Thank you for your reply. Could I suggest that if you have not read the books by Christof Woolf about Bach or not seen the film made a long time ago by Jean-Marie Straub that they would supplement your exciting commitment to the life and work of Bach. I will certainly follow your suggestion abut looking at the latest version. Again, there are some important insights in the work of Charles Rosen that you probably have seen/read. Also and there probably no room in your film but in philosophical terms the relation between Bach and Kant is worth thinking about. As you shown there is immense depth and breadth to Bach. Again think you.

Why use piano and not harpsichord, given the trouble you've gone to to recreate scenes in Bach's life? "Leipzigers set out to a PIANO concert"? The piano didn't exist.

@RayVandenburg Thank you. Some comments. Bach walking through the German cities was picturesque and credible. His home(s) seemed a bit more luxurious than what I thought, but I don't really know. The palaces were luxurious, of course, but some of the ballroom scenes seemed more like the 19th century. I liked his long white hair at the end, but did he ever really take his wig off? And maybe he was bald. His wives seemed rather pretty for the severe man that I imagine him to be, but that is based on formal paintings. I was surprised to see him grinning and smiling, but he probably was like that sometimes. You try to make it real, and I am inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt. However, you are right that the pianos have to go!
