AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Upon the death of the Bach parents, Hans Meyer provides a fine collection of clavier music to the Bach sons, Christopher (married) and Sebastian (nine years old). While Christopher denies Sebastian access to the manuscripts, deeming him too young to play such complex music, Sebastian studies secretly at night to prove his musical excellence.
