I moved this here from Karl Philipp Emanuel Bach - the spelling with a C has virtually completely superceded the K spelling (both in English and German speaking countries). The article is a complete mess, by the way - I might clean it up later (but these 1911 articles are rather depressing...) --Camembert

A quick note on the children of Johann Sebastian Bach. He had 20 children total, 10 of whom survived into adulthood. He had 7 children with Maria Barbara and 13 children with Anna Magdalena. Nine of these children were female, and 11 male. I have changed the first line to say "the second of five sons of Sebastian and Maria Barbara", though "second of Sebastian's 11 sons would also be correct, or some variant like that. These number are from Table 11.1 in Christoph Wolff, Johann Sebastian Bach: The Learned Musician (New York: Norton, 2000): 396-8. --Tagith 03:55, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
