Did you know that Bach had 20 children? There are, of course, throughout music

history a lot of jokes about Bach's family life, but the fact that only half of these
children lived to adulthood was fairly typical of the life expectancy of children in
the 18th century. Do you think his family life would have affected his musical
compositions?

Answer:

Yeah,

Explanation: of course it would have, his family affected his emotions and his emotions affected his music. When half of his kids died, do you think that messed with his head? Yes, of course it did. Music is created more often than not from emotion, and family plays a huge role in that.
