Johann or Johannes Bach (26 November 1604 – buried 13 May 1673) was a German composer and musician.



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Parable of Talents

 

He was the father of the so-called "Erfurt line" of Bach family musicians. -- Wikipedia   


There are so many Bach’s around

They’re divvied up by where they’re found,

And one branch of the family vine

Is labelled as the Erfurt line.

Johannes Bach, who made his mark

In Erfurt, was the patriarch.


And since it is his natal day,

It’s with regret I have to say

That the family DNA

Took genius in a different way.


You never know which family branch’ll

End up being most substantial.
