RE: J.S. Bach in the House

["Baldwin, Daniel" <baldwin@baermarks.com>]

I'm not sure of the crime, but I know JSB was treated well in prison -- they
gave him his own Suite, with a full set of keys, and occasionally he was
allowed to go out into a Chorale.

Toccata go now --

Really?  J.S. did some time in the Big House?
I guess I missed that part.  What was the charge...
too many parallel octaves in a Burlesca?  Fill us in, Bob...
