Johann Sebastian Bach. Anna Magdalena Bach.

The great German composer Johann Sebastian Bach wrote “Children's” music specifically for his own children. He wanted to develop their musical hearing, the ability to understand the beauty of music, to make its presence in life by an urgent necessity. Bach tried to write music for children... Better than for adults. He wanted the children to see in his writings a beautiful fairy tale, which he came up with for them. All that Bach did in his profession, he tried to do as well as he could. And he could, a brilliant master, absolutely everything. Of the twenty children, six became famous musicians who almost overshadowed the glory of their father. Summarizing the experience of classes with children, Bach created a “clavier” - a manual for his favorite tool - piano, although he played on the organ, and on the clavichord, and on the harpsichord.
