Bach
Fa Nigra ee it is by no means a case "like father, like son," the asian of the Bachs-there were sixty of them if one includes every branch of the family and all but seven were musicians 9f some sort or other-leads to a little confusion in listening unless the announcer is specific. In Bach’s own days the name was chiefly associated with the two sons Car! Philipp Emanuel, if one took one’s music on the Continent, or John Christian Bach in England. John Sebastian in those days was little more than the clever but somewhat pedantic father of some go-ahead sons. Now, of course, the boys are but faint stars on the periphery of a great light. It was a help to have Concerto in D Major announced as being from the pen of C. P. E. Bach, for the lush orchestration of Steinberg’s arrangement and the equally rich playing of the Boston Symphony Orchestra would have given little indication that this was originally a simple little work for strings by the man of whom Mozart said: "He is the father and we are the sons."
