Wilhelm Friedrich Ernst Bach (24 May 1759 – 25 December 1845) was the only grandson of J. S. Bach to gain fame as a composer. 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Everything is Relatives


He said, "Heredity can tend to run out of ideas."  - Wikipedia


Of all the many Bach that we

  Have hailed with verses here,

I think it’s safe to say that he

  Ranks somewhere near the rear.


It isn’t that he lacked success

  He had a few positions,

But not the sort that would impress

  His family of musicians.
