This is the first complete life of Bach ever written for children.
Every important incident is mentioned and every detail of the story
is true. It is filled with vivid descriptions of Bach's childhood:
how he sat up many nights and copied music by the light of the
moon, and how he walked two hundred miles to a choir school at
Luneburg. Then his adult life: how he helped his wife Magdalena put
the twenty children to bed every night; how he spread brown bread
with honey for them to eat every afternoon; and how he taught them
all to sing and play different musical instruments. The music
reproduced here represents all of the different kinds of music that
Bach ever wrote. A child can never really know music unless he
knows Bach, for his contribution is the foundation and structural
basis of all music. But it is more the human side of this book that
will make it live, for in it the great master breathes. All who
read it will know him...not only as a musical genius, but also as
an eager child, an affectionate father, and a lovable human being.
