What little-known son of a famous genius has been called:
"A musical blight"
"A one-man plague"
"History’s most justifiably neglected composer"
"The worst musician ever to trod organ pedals" "A pimple on the face of music"
In this long-awaited hoax, possibly the most unimportant piece of scholarship in over two thousand years, Professor Peter Schickele has finally succeeded in ripping the veil of obscurity from the most unusual — to put it kindly — composer in the history of music: P.D.Q. Bach, the last and unquestionably the least of the great Johann Sebastian Bach’s many children.
