Children, students, musicians, Bach fans. I hope my many answers are a perfect compromise for all of you. However, children, did you know I created one particular huge website just for you: Johann-Sebastian-Bach-for-Children? The section Bach FAQ on this website is sort of different to all other pages. And because of such, there is as well something special to look at. "Bach Art" - you will find several paintings and artwork of Petra-Ines Kaune. And if you like this motive in the miniature format just click on the painting. On Flickr we provide each work in a higher resolution – and then: it's real fun discovering it.
These questions and answers (...actually the FAQ start a little down this page...) about Johann Sebastian Bach and about his work, his life, his family and his biography are collected mostly for kids, students and for "Bach Starters". If you, as an expert discover an obvious mistake coming with my answers inside the FAQ chapter, please feel free to send me a short mail. My change with your help will make this FAQ page even a little bit better, more correct and more exciting. Thank you.
