+ The Story of the Boy Who Sang
+ in the Streets
+
+
+This is the house in which JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH was born.
+
+ [Illustration: THE HOUSE IN WHICH BACH WAS BORN.]
+
+This house stands in the town of Eisenach in Germany. It looks very much
+the same today as it did when Sebastian was a little boy. Many people go
+there to visit this house because the little boy grew to be a famous
+man.
+
+In Eisenach there is a statue of Bach near the palace.
+
+ [Illustration: STATUE OF BACH AT EISENACH.]
+
+In the same town in which Sebastian was born there stands on the top of
+a hill a very famous castle built many hundreds of years ago.
+
+This castle is called the Wartburg.
+
+ [Illustration: THE CASTLE AT WARTBURG.]
+
+As a boy little Sebastian used to climb the hill with his friends, and
+they, no doubt, had a happy time playing about the castle grounds. In
+one of its great halls the minstrels of Germany held their Song
+Contests.
+
+When Sebastian was old enough he used to travel afoot, just as the
+minstrels did; his purpose was to go to hear fine organ players. Once as
+he sat weary by the roadside someone threw a herring to him so that he
+might eat as he rested.
+
+ [Illustration: BACH EATING THE HERRING.]
+
+Little Sebastian's father was named JOHANN AMBROSIUS BACH. He, too, was
+a musician, as his people had been for many years.
+
+ [Illustration: JOHANN AMBROSIUS BACH.]
+
+One of these was a miller who played and sang while the corn was
+grinding. His name was Veit Bach, and his little boy was called Hans,
+the Player, because he, too, loved to play the violin.
+
+ [Illustration: VEIT BACH AND HIS SON HANS.]
+
+When Sebastian was ten years old his father and mother died. So he went
+to live with his brother, whose home was a few miles away.
+
+Of this brother Sebastian had music lessons, and he improved so rapidly
+that he used to beg to be allowed to play the pieces in a big book in
+the library.
+
+But the brother refused him this pleasure. However, little Sebastian was
+eager to learn all the music he could find, so he used to sit up on
+moonlight nights and copy these pages while his brother was asleep.
+
+But what do you think happened when he had copied everything in that big
+book?
+
+His brother found out what he had done and took all his precious music
+away from him.
+
+ [Illustration: BACH COPYING MUSIC BY MOONLIGHT.]
+
+If you know any boy who is about twenty years old you may say to him,
+Bach was as old as you are when Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston.
+
+And although there was this difference of twenty years or so in their
+ages, we may think of them at work in the world at the same time. You
+must remember that all men like Franklin and Bach who became famous did
+so by working very hard.
+
+ [Illustration: BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.]
+
+Franklin, too, was born very poor. Once he walked the streets of
+Philadelphia with a loaf of bread under each arm. But by being faithful
+in all he did he became the friend of all his countrymen and of Kings
+and Queens besides.
+
+Benjamin Franklin was quite a little younger than Sebastian Bach. But
+there was a famous man who was almost exactly Sebastian's age. This man
+composed an Oratorio that is loved by everybody. It is sung in cities
+and towns all over the world, particularly at Christmas time.
+
+Do you happen to know the name of this Oratorio? If not, you can surely
+learn it by asking someone or by looking it up in a book.
+
+Write in the name of the composer of this Oratorio below the picture,
+and write on this line the name of the Oratorio itself.
+
+ ...............................................
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+The composer's name is
+
+ ...............................................
+
+The Oratorio, the name of which you have just written, was first sung in
+the Irish city of Dublin, 1742.
+
+At that time Sebastian Bach was living in Leipsic and had been for many
+years at the head of the Thomas School. He was known as its Cantor. Bach
+worked very hard here to supply music for several of the Leipsic
+churches, and he worked so well that his fame spread until it reached
+the ears of the Emperor.
+
+Frederick the Great was also a musician and composer. So he invited
+Sebastian Bach to visit him at his castle. There were many people
+present, but Sebastian Bach was the principal guest. He played on many
+of the Emperor's fine pianos. When he reached home again he composed a
+musical work and dedicated it to the Emperor.
+
+ [Illustration: BACH PLAYING BEFORE FREDERICK THE GREAT.]
+
+The kind of a piano that Sebastian Bach played on was not called a piano
+in his day. It was called a Clavier or Clavichord.
+
+Some day you will study a collection of pieces by Sebastian Bach which
+was written for this instrument and was called _The Well Tempered
+Clavichord_.
+
+This is the kind of piano, or clavichord, that Bach used.
+
+ [Illustration: THE CLAVICHORD.]
+
+And here is the beginning of the very first piece in the collection of
+which we have just spoken in Bach's handwriting.
+
+ [Illustration: BACH'S HANDWRITING.]
+
+ [Illustration: MORNING PRAYERS IN THE HOME OF JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH.]
+
+Sebastian Bach had a very large family, twenty children altogether. Two
+of them studied music faithfully with their father.
+
+One was Friedmann, for whom the father wrote a book called _Little
+Preludes_. Friedmann's brother, Philipp Emanuel Bach, was a very fine
+clavichord player. He wrote a book about music and composed many pieces.
+
+ [Illustration: WILLIAM FRIEDMANN BACH. PHILIPP EMANUEL BACH.]
+
+Sebastian Bach died in 1750. He was sixty-five years of age.
+
+Benjamin Franklin was at that time forty-four years old and George
+Washington was eighteen.
+
+This is the way Bach wrote his name.

+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+</div>
+
+<p>This house stands in the town of Eisenach in
+Germany. It looks very much the same today as it
+did when Sebastian was a little boy. Many people
+go there to visit this house because the little boy
+grew to be a famous man.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum">[Pg&nbsp;4]</span>
+In Eisenach there is a statue of Bach near the
+palace.</p>

+
+<p>In the same town in which Sebastian was born
+there stands on the top of a hill a very famous castle
+built many hundreds of years ago.</p>
+
+<p>This castle is called the Wartburg.</p>

+<span class="caption">THE CASTLE AT WARTBURG.</span>

+
+<p>As a boy little Sebastian used to climb the hill with
+his friends, and they, no doubt, had a happy time playing
+about the castle grounds. In one of its great halls
+the minstrels of Germany held their Song Contests.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum">[Pg&nbsp;5]</span>
+When Sebastian was old enough he used to
+travel afoot, just as the minstrels did; his purpose
+was to go to hear fine organ players. Once as he
+sat weary by the roadside someone threw a herring
+to him so that he might eat as he rested.</p>

+<p>Little Sebastian's father was named JOHANN
+AMBROSIUS BACH. He, too, was a musician, as
+his people had been for many years.</p>

+One of these was a miller who played and sang
+while the corn was grinding. His name was Veit
+Bach, and his little boy was called Hans, the Player,
+because he, too, loved to play the violin.</p>

+
+<p>When Sebastian was ten years old his father
+and mother died. So he went to live with his brother,
+whose home was a few miles away.</p>
+
+<p>Of this brother Sebastian had music lessons, and
+he improved so rapidly that he used to beg to be allowed
+to play the pieces in a big book in the library.</p>
+
+<p>But the brother refused him this pleasure. However,
+little Sebastian was eager to learn all the music
+he could find, so he used to sit up on moonlight nights
+and copy these pages while his brother was asleep.</p>
+
+<p>But what do you think happened when he had
+copied everything in that big book?</p>
+
+<p>His brother found out what he had done and
+took all his precious music away from him.</p>

+
+<p>If you know any boy who is about twenty years
+old you may say to him, Bach was as old as you are
+when Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston.</p>
+
+<p>And although there was this difference of twenty
+years or so in their ages, we may think of them at
+work in the world at the same time. You must remember
+that all men like Franklin and Bach who
+became famous did so by working very hard.</p>

+<p><span class="pagenum">[Pg&nbsp;8]</span>
+Franklin, too, was born very poor. Once he
+walked the streets of Philadelphia with a loaf of
+bread under each arm. But by being faithful in all
+he did he became the friend of all his countrymen
+and of Kings and Queens besides.</p>
+
+<p>Benjamin Franklin was quite a little younger
+than Sebastian Bach. But there was a famous man
+who was almost exactly Sebastian's age. This man
+composed an Oratorio that is loved by everybody. It
+is sung in cities and towns all over the world, particularly
+at Christmas time.</p>
+
+<p>Do you happen to know the name of this Oratorio?
+If not, you can surely learn it by asking someone
+or by looking it up in a book.</p>
+
+<p>Write in the name of the composer of this
+Oratorio below the picture, and write on this line the
+name of the Oratorio itself.</p>

+The Oratorio, the name of which you have just
+written, was first sung in the Irish city of Dublin, 1742.</p>
+
+<p>At that time Sebastian Bach was living in Leipsic
+and had been for many years at the head of the
+Thomas School. He was known as its Cantor. Bach
+worked very hard here to supply music for several of
+the Leipsic churches, and he worked so well that his
+fame spread until it reached the ears of the Emperor.</p>
+
+<p>Frederick the Great was also a musician and
+composer. So he invited Sebastian Bach to visit him
+at his castle. There were many people present, but
+Sebastian Bach was the principal guest. He played
+on many of the Emperor's fine pianos. When he
+reached home again he composed a musical work
+and dedicated it to the Emperor.</p>

+The kind of a piano that Sebastian Bach played
+on was not called a piano in his day. It was called
+a Clavier or Clavichord.</p>
+
+<p>Some day you will study a collection of pieces by
+Sebastian Bach which was written for this instrument
+and was called <i>The Well Tempered Clavichord</i>.</p>
+
+<p>This is the kind of piano, or clavichord, that
+Bach used.</p>

+<p>Sebastian Bach had a very large family, twenty
+children altogether. Two of them studied music
+faithfully with their father.</p>
+
+<p>One was Friedmann, for whom the father
+wrote a book called <i>Little Preludes</i>. Friedmann's
+brother, Philipp Emanuel Bach, was a very fine
+clavichord player. He wrote a book about music
+and composed many pieces.</p>

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+ The Story of the Boy Who Sang
+ in the Streets
+
+
+This is the house in which JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH was born.
+
+ [Illustration: THE HOUSE IN WHICH BACH WAS BORN.]
+
+This house stands in the town of Eisenach in Germany. It looks very much
+the same today as it did when Sebastian was a little boy. Many people go
+there to visit this house because the little boy grew to be a famous
+man.
+
+In Eisenach there is a statue of Bach near the palace.
+
+ [Illustration: STATUE OF BACH AT EISENACH.]
+
+In the same town in which Sebastian was born there stands on the top of
+a hill a very famous castle built many hundreds of years ago.
+
+This castle is called the Wartburg.
+
+ [Illustration: THE CASTLE AT WARTBURG.]
+
+As a boy little Sebastian used to climb the hill with his friends, and
+they, no doubt, had a happy time playing about the castle grounds. In
+one of its great halls the minstrels of Germany held their Song
+Contests.
+
+When Sebastian was old enough he used to travel afoot, just as the
+minstrels did; his purpose was to go to hear fine organ players. Once as
+he sat weary by the roadside someone threw a herring to him so that he
+might eat as he rested.
+
+ [Illustration: BACH EATING THE HERRING.]
+
+Little Sebastian's father was named JOHANN AMBROSIUS BACH. He, too, was
+a musician, as his people had been for many years.
+
+ [Illustration: JOHANN AMBROSIUS BACH.]
+
+One of these was a miller who played and sang while the corn was
+grinding. His name was Veit Bach, and his little boy was called Hans,
+the Player, because he, too, loved to play the violin.
+
+ [Illustration: VEIT BACH AND HIS SON HANS.]
+
+When Sebastian was ten years old his father and mother died. So he went
+to live with his brother, whose home was a few miles away.
+
+Of this brother Sebastian had music lessons, and he improved so rapidly
+that he used to beg to be allowed to play the pieces in a big book in
+the library.
+
+But the brother refused him this pleasure. However, little Sebastian was
+eager to learn all the music he could find, so he used to sit up on
+moonlight nights and copy these pages while his brother was asleep.
+
+But what do you think happened when he had copied everything in that big
+book?
+
+His brother found out what he had done and took all his precious music
+away from him.
+
+ [Illustration: BACH COPYING MUSIC BY MOONLIGHT.]
+
+If you know any boy who is about twenty years old you may say to him,
+Bach was as old as you are when Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston.
+
+And although there was this difference of twenty years or so in their
+ages, we may think of them at work in the world at the same time. You
+must remember that all men like Franklin and Bach who became famous did
+so by working very hard.
+
+ [Illustration: BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.]
+
+Franklin, too, was born very poor. Once he walked the streets of
+Philadelphia with a loaf of bread under each arm. But by being faithful
+in all he did he became the friend of all his countrymen and of Kings
+and Queens besides.
+
+Benjamin Franklin was quite a little younger than Sebastian Bach. But
+there was a famous man who was almost exactly Sebastian's age. This man
+composed an Oratorio that is loved by everybody. It is sung in cities
+and towns all over the world, particularly at Christmas time.
+
+Do you happen to know the name of this Oratorio? If not, you can surely
+learn it by asking someone or by looking it up in a book.
+
+Write in the name of the composer of this Oratorio below the picture,
+and write on this line the name of the Oratorio itself.
+
+ ...............................................
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+The composer's name is
+
+ ...............................................
+
+The Oratorio, the name of which you have just written, was first sung in
+the Irish city of Dublin, 1742.
+
+At that time Sebastian Bach was living in Leipsic and had been for many
+years at the head of the Thomas School. He was known as its Cantor. Bach
+worked very hard here to supply music for several of the Leipsic
+churches, and he worked so well that his fame spread until it reached
+the ears of the Emperor.
+
+Frederick the Great was also a musician and composer. So he invited
+Sebastian Bach to visit him at his castle. There were many people
+present, but Sebastian Bach was the principal guest. He played on many
+of the Emperor's fine pianos. When he reached home again he composed a
+musical work and dedicated it to the Emperor.
+
+ [Illustration: BACH PLAYING BEFORE FREDERICK THE GREAT.]
+
+The kind of a piano that Sebastian Bach played on was not called a piano
+in his day. It was called a Clavier or Clavichord.
+
+Some day you will study a collection of pieces by Sebastian Bach which
+was written for this instrument and was called _The Well Tempered
+Clavichord_.
+
+This is the kind of piano, or clavichord, that Bach used.
+
+ [Illustration: THE CLAVICHORD.]
+
+And here is the beginning of the very first piece in the collection of
+which we have just spoken in Bach's handwriting.
+
+ [Illustration: BACH'S HANDWRITING.]
+
+ [Illustration: MORNING PRAYERS IN THE HOME OF JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH.]
+
+Sebastian Bach had a very large family, twenty children altogether. Two
+of them studied music faithfully with their father.
+
+One was Friedmann, for whom the father wrote a book called _Little
+Preludes_. Friedmann's brother, Philipp Emanuel Bach, was a very fine
+clavichord player. He wrote a book about music and composed many pieces.
+
+ [Illustration: WILLIAM FRIEDMANN BACH. PHILIPP EMANUEL BACH.]
+
+Sebastian Bach died in 1750. He was sixty-five years of age.
+

+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.

+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
