Always they were fun to play. Do you like chords?
Chords? Oh, you mean like skipping ropes?
No, like musical chords. I love chords. I wrote this for my two
Older boys. See, I can open them up and spread them out. And now
Back they go into chords again. It's a game, you see. We play games
ย
Ah, you make it sound so easy
The thing about music is that you
Must love to play it. Make it a game
Why can't I play it like you?
You have five fingers on each hand, don't you?
Yes
How many fingers have I got?
Ten
Right, like you. So practice, that's all you have to do. Practice
Practice?
Practice, practice
Boys!
And what did you write for your girls?
Girls? Who needs them?
Well, you see, Elizabeth, I'm sorry, but in those days, girls
Were different. Girls were supposed to grow up to be mothers
It was very nice if they could play an instrument, or if they
Could sing. If they played, they played for the family. If
They sang, they sang for the children. They, they didn't have
The vote, they didn't wear pants, and that's the way it was
But why?
But that's just, just the way it was. Now, my boys, they were
Terrific. Carl Philip Emmanuel, Johann Christoph Friedrich
Wilhelm Friedemann, and Johann Christian, my youngest, he even
Played with Mozart. All of them were composers. My father was a
Musician, too. He taught us the violin. There were seven of us
Children. I remember, we sat in the kitchen and played music and
Sang. I had a very good voice. I used to sing in the school choir
Were you as good as us?
Of course he was
Why, of course he was
Because this is Mr. Bach
Ja, Mr. Bach
