Peter Schickele Books

Exploring the life of an overlooked son of a renowned genius, the narrative delves into themes of identity, legacy, and the quest for recognition. It highlights the challenges he faces living in the shadow of his father's brilliance, while also uncovering his unique talents and aspirations. The story intricately weaves personal struggles with broader societal expectations, offering a poignant reflection on familial relationships and the pursuit of individuality amidst overwhelming expectations.

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.
