## Trivia

* Highlights from the film, plus other works, are found in the Baby Bach Concert for Little Ears.
* Some *Baby Bach* toys are seen in the Language Discovery Cards.
* Out of all the *Baby Einstein* videos, *Baby Bach* uses the most sound effects.

* This is the third video to feature kids.
* More J. S. Bach music appears in Baby Da Vinci, Baby First Moves, and Lullaby Time.
* Similar to Baby Mozart, the music sounds different, due to the fact that BE didn't buy FHE yet.
* In 1998-2002, the orange rabbit had black eyes, But in the 2003-2007 it had white eyes, probably because Disney thought it would scare kids.
* In the 2004 release, no Wind-Up Clowns were shown at the Goldberg Suite screen because the Wind-Up Clowns were replaced by a Tabletop & Wall Mount Clown, and the G. G. Giraffe wasn't shown during Goldberg Variations No. 1 because the Sun Pendulum got replaced by a Sun Balance.
* Unlike Baby Mozart, this video wasn't that popular and wasn't remade for the Baby Einstein 10th Anniversary or Discovery Kit.
* According to Billboard Magazine from October 1998, it said "Baby Bach streets in November on the Julie Aigner-Clark Productions label".
* The CD counterpart was released in January 1999, 2 months after the video got released.
* The Cosmos Kinetic and The Winkel are also seen in Baby Galileo (Although it doesn't show any rings and the Winkel has a different color).
* In the 1998 and 1999 version, the Baby Mozart tune up is heard at the Warning Screen and the Goldberg Suite Screen, But it was changed to the Tune-Up and Fanfare Based on Toccata and D.
* Along with Baby Mozart, The music was recomposed in 2000.
* In the 2004 release some of the toys were replaced (Cornelius The Dancing Chicken, Hydro Gyro, Sun Pendulum, Bubble Blowing Bear, Wonderland Bear Band, Bontempi Wind Instruments: Saxophone, Baby Giraffe, Sunny the Singing Sunflower, Magic Show Pendulum Clock, Wind-Up Clowns), the Wind-Up Clowns weren't at the Goldberg Suite screen, and the G. G. Giraffe wasn't shown during Goldberg Variations No. 1.
* This is the second video to use puppets (non-be puppets). However the Orange Rabbit appears in Baby Van Gogh and Meet the Orchestra and other be videos.
* In the 1998 and 1999 versions of the video, both clowns in the transition scene from the Ferris Wheel to the Pop-Up Pals were both operating and the top part of the Magic Clock was shown. However, in the 2000 version, the drumming clown was steady while the maraca one was still operating in that frame and the top part of the Magic Clock wasn't shown.
