Johann Sebastian Bach

Bach's eldest son, the one with a great deal of musical talent, is sometimes described as a wastral. Was it the untimely death of his mother that led him to waste his talents? Less than a year after his mother's death, his father remarried, this time to a much younger woman. Did those events have an effect on how the young man experienced love and devotion? Did those events affect the ways in which his neurotransmitters functioned? Is it important to ferret out the reasons some people enjoy their talents while others fritter away time and money?
