Bach family

For people named Bach, see Bach (surname).

The Bach family is a family of notable composers of the Baroque and Classical periods of music, the best-known of whom was Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750). There are surviving descendants of the Erfurt Line, such as the great-great-great grandson of Frederich Leopold Bach or the daughters of Philip Frederick Bach, Susan Jean Weaver and Nancy Louis Hertzog Bach. A family genealogy was drawn up by Johann Sebastian Bach himself in 1735 when he was 50 and was continued by his son Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach.
