The other players think it was deliberate, so they stomp on his feet and pull his raccoon cap off. His teammates come to his rescue and a fight breaks out on both sides. Fr.

The story of Bach, the most powerful influence in the music of the western world. He was born in Eisenach, Germany in 1685. Bach lived to see his music become considered old-fashioned.
