One Bach figure ... that was once ... the offer in my Publishing House Store Bach 4 You. At the very beginning, when the Bach Biography for Children by my husband Peter had just been completed, and I founded my mini company for its publication. One Bach figure. In the meantime, there are actually more and more different ones, and I am probably in the meantime the supplier with the most Bach figures on the planet. It was not so easy to give each "jewel" its own internal name. Today they are Bach busts, the imposing Bach statues (... from the New Bach Monument in Leipzig) and the Little Bach Figure with violin at the podium, for which we waited so long. Later, we found the vendors who helped us get the Tiny Bach Figure and the Bach Turning Box. From the very first days of our common Bach Mission, we also paid special attention to a Bach figure made of tin, that is, a Bach tin figure. And because there was no nice flat Bach tin figure available at that time, we – together with my father-in-law – had one designed and then poured. In the meantime it is also waiting for your visit in the store. Later, a 3D Bach tin figure joined the collection and now there are five Bach busts in different sizes, but all with a very distinctive facial expression. Because many Bach busts do not have this. Why do I report about it? Because all our websites in our Bach-Mission and the Classical Music for Children Mission "work" like this: You always get a whole lot of entertainment, besides the offers in my store, which are exclusively to refinance our Mission. The youngest member in this Bach Figure Collection is the little Bach eraser, which is not even included in the picture below.
The topics Bach figure and music gifts: "Bach 4 You" is a specialist when it comes to offers around Bach ... and entertainment as well as information on this topic. With the portal "Bach on Bach" and the two websites "Johann-Sebastian-Bach-for-Children" and "Bach in Wechmar" Peter Bach Jr. informs about the master from Eisenach in Thuringia, Germany. In my Publishing House I offer you a large selection of exciting Bach gifts and thus cover the financial expenses for the illustration of the websites, the costs for the genealogy research, for travels and so much more.
They are the most demanded in my store: our alabaster gypsum busts. And indeed the big ones. They appear here as a "trio of musicians", at your home, for example, perhaps also as bookends ... or just individually. In the store you will find well photographed details and there you can also explore the price. And now? Do you want to stop by there sometime? In the store you can see this figure also photographed with a Euro coin and a US-Quarter, so you have a good impression of the imposing size. By the way, there are several large busts and also two Bach monuments with six free valuable add-ons.
This is what the three look like when they "have a job". What makes them different from the usual bookends, however, is that they don't stand on a flat base, which the books then weigh down. However, all three are so heavy that this works with "reasonable books" even without. By the way, in a new edition of the mold now all three busts in this size have the same base. You can see this in more detail in the store.
Bach figure, Bach eraser or Bach etcher. However, you don't get any of the candy with your purchase. You can't support books with these gentlemen, unless they are very small books. Like the one in the next picture.
Yes, such small books might actually be supported by the little Bach figures above. This by the way very smallest Bach mini book is also available in the Publisher's Store. It is almost antique, but in any case a historical jewel and actually hardly to find. A second Bach mini book is slightly larger, but still tiny.
First of all, it was actually the Bach tin figure. It existed long before the Bach Mission – that is, the Bach on Bach Project and the Bach 4 You Publishing House of me, Renate Bach and of my husband Peter Bach Jr. started. Why? Quite simply: because the father of Peter Bach Jr, who along with his family did not know at the time that he too belonged to this family of musicians, was enthusiastic about tin figures. And one of his collectibles at that time was already a Bach figure, that is a flat ( ! ) Bach tin figure. Of course, it was small and not so beautiful like the one, that we offer it in the store today. But it was the figurine that inspired us to the last joint project with Peter Bach Sr. after all three Bachs had worked together for about 30 years ... though not in the matter of Johann Sebastian Bach. Today it is one of the small Bach figures, however, in my Publishing House, to avoid confusion, it is the Bach Tin Figure. And it is the flat tin figure. Today, all figures of Bach – from the smallest Bach bust via the small Bach figure to the large Bach monument – have distinctive names.
They are called "flat" tin figures. They are basically placed parallel to the background, and also to each other. If a figure is to be "viewed from the side", it must already be engraved and poured that way. The exciting information about the Bach figure, more precisely about the Bach tin figure: The little cherub to the right of Bach, on the tiny podium, takes just as much effort to engrave and to paint later, as the three times larger composer. Below you can see the figure painted by a real artist.
Now you can see the little cherub better. And he is not unpainted, but "is made of marble". The quality of the painting recognizes the expert by the fact that here all surfaces were not only "simply brushed with a color", but the master works out "light" and "shadow", so that a 3D impression is created ... because the actual Bach figure above ... is indeed flat.
On this page I present you almost exclusively Bach figures and Bach items that you can buy in my Publishing House Store. But there is another kind of Bach gifts I can offer you. So you can imagine it without "clicking by" there: The company "Zazzle" offers a white t-shirt, "Redbubble" offers a beer mug, and "Spreadshirt" provides a blue baseball cap. I with my Publishing Company "tinker" on all three products for example the Bach Seal ... the one with the three letters JSB and the crown with the cones. You can now explore this "cooperation" – and the result of it – in one of my online stores, or better in all four of my online stores ... and then ... maybe also order. Here you get to these shops.
These are only very, very, very few of all the options you have on the four internet platforms of "Bach 4 You". And there are much more unusual things there: bedding, shower curtains and baby bibs. For example. The most exciting items there? T-shirts and hoodies. Here you get to these shops again.
Oh sure, we'll point it out: This figurine is perfect for Bach fans who want to put a little fun in the cabinet, on the bookshelf, on their desk or at their workplace. But: children might not only eat up little pieces that come loose, but they might eat up the little sheet of music or the quill in the little ink pot, which have already come loose. And the most ambitious of all the kiddies might swallow the whole figure. The hint is serious, but it is not described that way. We know that. You know that.
The Little Bach Figure: We waited a whole seven years for it, namely since 2012, until it was finally created. In 2012, a Bach fan had specifically asked for it. Therefore, we are pleased today to be able to offer it as one of the cutest of all Bach figures. Here you get right now to the store again. Of course this offer is not one of the serious options. But that' s how our whole Bach Mission is. Serious research and transmission of knowledge is combined with entertainment and often even with a "wink".
Back to the tin again. This Bach figure is a so-called fully plastic tin figure, in English also a 3D tin figure. It is larger and much heavier than the flat Bach tin figure. Get here directly to the matching place in the shop for more information.
And this is how this Bach figure then looks painted. Again, note the skill of the painter. You can clearly see it on the back of the figure, that is in the folds in the coat. A part of the depth comes from the casting, of course. But then there is this mentioned painting with "light and shadow".
We have searched and searched: for the perfect Bach bust. They come in many varieties and in just as many sizes. Only on closer inspection do you realize that not all of them offer a beautifully modeled face of Johann Sebastian Bach. But mine do. And that there is not of every exciting Bach bust another different size. Therefore, we have decided and offer you five different sizes, which are also modeled differently. Unfortunately ... all Bach busts in all sizes are not available in other sizes. The very smallest Bach figure is not even an alabaster gypsum figure, but an eraser. By the way: For some larger Bach busts there are six free add-ons, some of them are even more valuable than the bust.
Five different Bach busts in five different sizes are available in my Publishing House. The following applies to all of them: We have in each case found the most beautiful modeling, the most perfect face, in the particular size and offer it to you. Above it is one of the medium-sized bisque porcelain busts of Bach.
The second smallest gypsum bust in all its glory. With the coins only for size comparison, because they are not included in scope of delivery. Please note: There are similar Bach figures, respectively Bach busts in five sizes. Please do not confuse them. The largest Bach bust is the alabaster gypsum bust, the smallest is the Bach eraser, and the three middle size Bach busts are made of bisque porcelain plaster. All of them are dull.
One of the middle-sized Bach busts again in comparison: With the two coins, one Euro and one US Quarter Dollar you get a good idea how big these five masterpieces are. And for the second time, a note on this page: In addition to the three large Bach busts and to other Bach figures, there are six cool add-ons for free and ... we would be especially pleased if you would support our Mission with a purchase in the Bach Shop of "Bach 4 You".
One Bach bust very close: It is about the details, and it's a game with light. My husband Peter takes pictures on a professional basis and also likes to do so privately.
This Bach figure, the Bach monument, as we call it in the Publishing House, is available in two sizes at the same time. However, it took us a whole seven years to find out where we could buy it for you. And now it enriches our Bach range enormously. To make it especially easy for you to purchase this work of art, there are the six free add-ons with your purchase. Below the five photos of the two Bach figures, you can briefly get to know these six "goodies".
Imposing, imposing ... a cool decoration in a music room, but with the photo above you have no feeling how big both Bach figures really are. Below, however, it works much better ...
Twice the Bach figure "Bach Monument" in different sizes. In the hands of my husband Peter you get a good idea of how big these jewels actually are.
The Bach figure "New Bach Monument in Leipzig, Saxony, Germany ", detail 1 ...
... the Bach figure "New Bach Monument in Leipzig, Germany" detail 2 ...
... and the last picture regarding the Bach figure "New Bach Monument in Leipzig, Germany": the back side of the artwork. Detail 3.
These six valuable add-ons are available with your purchase of certain items at "Bach 4 You". The most valuable is certainly the "Biography About Bach for Children" , which alone costs about € 20 as an audiobook (... check here, what's that in your currency). With the purchase some articles in the store you get both "for free". Then there is the "Bach Quotes and Tributes Medley". There are many, many statements and appreciations for the composer from Eisenach, Germany. Two professional speakers take turns, and there is music by the master. Finally, a short eight-minute biography, also with music, rounds up the work. The same narrator reads the Necrology, the fifth add-on. The Necrology is the first short biography of Bach in 1750 by his son and two other authors. A "jewel" is the old Bach Complete Edition: There are 16,800 sheets of music that you get as PDFs.
These are the two cutest Bach figurines from the Ore Mountains, which we ourselves found only after many, many years. On the left is a so-called Drehkastl (... the Little Turning Box): Johann Sebastian Bach in front of a pipe organ. The middle part is movable, and you can "close" the small box, so to speak. On the right it is Bach with a sheet of music in his hand. Of course, both rarities are available in the "Bach 4 You" Shop.
What an original bottle stopper for people who adore Bach and at the same time are wine connoisseurs. Bach will be delivered on a small pedestal, in action he gets with the stopper at the bottom.
And there is the same fun with Mozart. Only Beethoven as a bottle stopper does not exist (... yet). It is because of the hairstyle of the composer from Bonn in Germany. That ... is probably a challenge according to the artist.
The figure "Edge Sitter": On the one side it is Johann Sebastian Bach and on the other side it is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. We wonder if there will be a Beethoven edge sitter at some date?
A Bach calendar on the left, a Bach-T-shirt, which is a music T-shirt at the same time, on the right.
In the internet stores above, there are hundreds of additional Bach gifts and music gifts. By the way, the Publishing House in the Bach Mission is a specialist when it comes to Bach T-shirts and Bach seal T-shirts. Click here to get to the five shops.
