Baby Bach

**Baby Bach** is the 3rd Baby Einstein video in the series to be made. It was released in 1998 despite the original tape saying 1999 and was later reissued that year. It included the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, and colorful toys from the 90's. It was one of the 10 videos to be created by Julie Aigner-Clark. In 2000, the sound design for Baby Bach was updated by Bill Weisbach. A new Baby Bach CD came out when the sound design was updated. Later in 2004, Baby Bach had some footage replaced with different toys and updated the credits.

## Trivia

* This is the first video to have classical music by J. S. Bach.
* This is the first Baby Einstein video to have an epilogue after the credits.
* Despite the Minuet in G (BWV Anh. 114) being featured in this video, and BE referring it as a Bach piece, this song is actually composed by Christian Petzold (NOT Bach), but he *attributed* the piece to Bach as part of his wife's music notebook for her keyboard lessons. However, for a very long time since then, Bach still gets most of the credit for some reason.
* Some of the songs in this video were later reused in Baby Lullaby.
* When FHE Started working for BE in 2000, the music was redone.
* On the 1998 & 1999 VHS Tapes, the orchestra tune-up was reused from Baby Mozart.
* This video, along with Language Nursery, are the only videos not to feature any official Baby Einstein puppets.
* In the 1998 version, during the Magic Clock scene, it shows an alternate angle.
* There was a Bach the Rabbit puppet made by Playsoup. That could mean that a 2008 version of the video was being developed but was cancelled for unknown reasons.
