Making allowance for the fact that the reconstruction is facing forward and the Hausmann portrait is turned slightly, it does indeed seem very familiar. |

This is supposed to be he too - a rather battered Bach. Do members think it is the same face? |

IMO, the cheeks look slightly less full but the eyes are similar. One of his sons perhaps? Or a slightly younger Johann Sebastian?

The reconstruction of his face is doubtless a magnificent piece of research-work... but am I the only person wondering, err, "why"?

The BBC website claims that Bach only ever sat for one portrait in his lifetime, so perhaps the motive for the reconstruction was to ascertain whether it was in fact he?

Ah. If so, the famous portrait posted by Kitty is the one. What music is he holding? I do recall someone identified it somewhere. |

Here is more information than you need. The piece is a six-part Canon triplex in G, BWV 1076, consisting of three simultaneous two-part canons each in contrary motion.

How irritating. I've never been able to get a single canon to come out sounding right.  |
