The Talented Bach Family.


From The 81 LOUIS GIooe- Democrat.
The name of Bach has been borne by a
musical family Of Germany for over 200
years, the musical talent being inherited bv
almost every member With scarcely an
exception they have all been musicians, and
most of them of high order of talent. The
family sprang from Hans Bach, born in
1861. AS to the musical talent of Hans his
tory is silent, but his son Welt was a talent
ed performer on several instruments, and
with him the musical history of the Bachs
properly begins.
Although they are scattered almost all
over Germany the most OF them live in
Arnstadt, Erturt aud Eisenach, which be-
came from their presence musical centers.
The survivors of the family hold an annual
musical reunion. and at the last occasion
over 200 representatives, mostly musical,
were present.
