The Bach FAQs start below the second image..

The “Bach FAQ” page on this website is “different” from the others. And because of that, there’s something special to look at. “Bach-Art” ... these are various paintings and works by Petra-Ines Kaune. If you like the motif even in this small image, just click on the link below the next image. On Flickr, the work is also available in high resolution ... and then: It’s really fun to watch. © Petra Kaune + © Info..

These, my questions and answers (... the FAQs begin below) about Johann Sebastian Bach and his work, life, family, and biography, have been compiled primarily for schoolchildren, college students, and those new to Bach. And if you, as an expert, notice a very obvious mistake? Please feel free to send me a quick email, because that will help make my FAQ page even a little better, more accurate, and more interesting. Thank you for that. I also plan to add many more FAQs to the current 100 in the coming years. Until there are 500 FAQs..
