Which Reminds Me

Yes, you have liked to remind us that Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was the father of about 20 children with his two wives, many of whom survived to become accomplished musicians in their own right. He wrote many beautiful masterpieces of music and yet he produced a singular lack of wording, leaving little or no space for an explanation of how this could be so. The pictures may be helpful for reeducating the mostly illiterate population, but who is going to write the words? That is what you were saying. I heard that.
