Johann Christoph Friedrich: Johann Sebastian’s 19th child, known as the “Bach of Bückeburg”

Johann Christian: The youngest of the family. After his father’s death, his older brother Carl Philip Emanuel took responsibility for his musical education. A close friend of Mozart’s.

Johann Bernhard: Bach the Elder’s cousin and a colleague of Telemann

Carl Philipp Emanuel: The most famous and most successful of all Bach’s children, he worked in Berlin and Hamburg, he was immensely productive and had a great influence on the music of the future.
