| Bach to where I was this morning and looking across from the Bach Archive, Bach was standing quietly at dusk. |
|
Greeting Bach at the foyer, I entered the Bach Museum. This, of course, is the most familiar bust of Johann Sebastian Bach to us all. |
The Museum was composed of several rooms, one of which exhibited various musical instruments in the Baroque period that I had never seen.
I was impressed to see the surviving organ console that J.S. Bach sat at, inspected, and played in 1743.
This was originally located in the destroyed Johanniskirche, St. John's Church in the suburbs of Leipzig. |

The lute was the most popular instrument in the age of Bach. It sounds very comforting to me each time I hear it. |
