Johann Sebastian Bach

German composer Johann Sebastian Bach - Emotive depth and his “blue notes” were his music’s bedrock. Having fathered twenty children and always on his toes, how did he ever find time to compose?

Google said two wives. First one died tragically. Probably had more kids with wife number 2. Ten of the 20 died young so he must have raised ten children to adulthood. Weird, huh?
