Talk:Bach family

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm searching for a HISTORY of the J.S. Bach family. %How many sons(?) did he father? (I'm actually seeking a history of his 21st son (of 20) PDQ BACH. Thanks to Peter Schikele. ^ Charlieheretolearn 21:22, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't know if you realized that P. D. Q. Bach was an invention of Schikele, for comic purposes. He wouldn't have a place in an account of the real family. David Brooks 20:09, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone think the article is a bit hard to read? I can't think of a good way to rewrite the text, but wouldn't at least a template look nice here (and on related pages) which would list famous composers of the Bach family (listing Johann Sebastian Bach, several of his sons who gained fame as composers and a single composer grandson would be enough I reckon?). I don't know much about creating and editing templates, and although I'm willing to learn, I'm not sure whether people would want a Bach family template. Jashiin 16:07, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ich lass Dich nicht

Shouldn't the translation of "Ich lasse Dich nicht" be "I won't leave you" (or lit. "I don't leave you")? I don't know the text to this motet, but just noticed that "I wrestle and pray" is not a very good translation of the motet's German name. 217.18.180.146 11:17, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
