The article critically appraises two books, "John Sebastian Bach" and "John Christian Bach," by Charles Sanford Terry. Terry's biography of musician John Christian Bach is another story. This is not only the first biography in English of Sebastian's youngest, and greatest son, but it is also the most painstaking work on the subject which people have today. The reticence on the part of biographers toward devoting their research to John Christian has puzzled musicians for a long time. His was a personality far more picturesque than that of his father.
