I seem to have heard a lot of one or more of his sons' work on my local classical station and loving it without knowing who they were. The station DJs always say something haughty like "of course it sounds nothing like JS because he was dead for blah blah years before this Bach started composing music blah blah blah" but I wonder if anybody here knows anything about any other Bachs. I don't but I think I should.
In 4 or 5 years of listening to classical music, the only music I've heard from one of Bach's children is that of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. I like his music. It's a great fusion between the Baroque and Classical periods. If there was music to go with the Rococo visual art at the time, it would be his.
