THE BACH FAMILY --- Johann Sebastian Bach... the uber-composer...



and here we are already with the figurehead of the bach clan... composer of pieces of timeless beauty... written for eternity... like the above "air", an orchestral piece with cembalo(harpsichord)... the piano wasnt invented yet...
 he was of royal line, and evrything else is simply a fairytale...i observed children both of rich people and of regular people.. i saw how the rich people took great care of their babies, who made satisfied noises of approval, while some other people would take less attention to their babies... you see we already get prepared early in life for our later roles...
 he wasnt only frederic II, elector of thuringia(1676-1732), but also Karl VI (1685-1740), his habsburg identity, and thus emperor of the holy roman empire...
 then i also found a painter alter of his, namely elias gottlob haussmann (1695-1774)... funny enough both JS bach and the painter died in the same city (Leipzig)...
 then i found another similar character Friedrich WIlhelm I of prussia (born 1688) but that one must have been one of his brothers, whose pictures i couldnt find so far, so no way of identifying them accurately...seeing we have JS bach himself already as frederic II of thuringia (2nd pic of this thread)...so he cant also be the boss of brandenburg, seeing the wig is completely diffrent, but a similar full face, so likely thats a brother...
 here a list of all the main bach sons... remember he had just as many daughters... some of them "died" on the childbed, but we know thats likely all a bunch of yarn...
 again the composer was merely an alter of the emperor of the holy roman empire.. karl VI...
 then we´re almost at the end of this thread, but he was also emperor of austria and portugal, like his father before... since his wife maria barbara bach was also maria anna of austria.. again we see the same wig, the same warm fatherly character of this great man, both in mundane terms as well as spiritually... he left so much to the world, not only beautiful compositions, but also many offspring, who would rule europe after he was deceased...no wonder they called johann V of austria and portugal "the generous king"...
then finally this might also be him, i dont know why again the exact same picture appears on google search, but it must have some sort of reason.. this man was a printer, typesetter, doctor, book merchant, music theorist and sage...likely an oldage alter for him, when he couldnt cut it as a performer anymore, he still could teach others and write books...
