I get the feelzing that Bach was a no-nonsense kind of guy from the feelz of his music. Is this true? Are there any stories of how this can be seen in his everyday life, or in his career as a musician besides the music itself?

Legend has it he would enter the auditorium with strong sparklers cracking on his face and body for 15 seconds every time he was going to perform the Goldberg Variations.
He was a tough son of a gun.
Caleb Murphy
He was very hard working and had a lot of responsibilities. He taught grammar, Latin, and math as well as music to boys in Leipzig for 27 years, had two wives (one at a time; the first died in 1720 when he was in jail) and twenty kids (eleven died in infancy or childhood), and produced literally over a thousand catalogued works that ranged from keyboard or violin solos to masses and passions written for choir and orchestra.
He was rather old when that portrait was made, and may have been showing signs of diabetes.

What did he go to jail for??
Is that an authentic portrait? Please tell me that's not photo-shopped.

He tried to resign from his position in Weimar but the nobleman he working for wanted him to stay.

Brody Collins
how much time did he serve for such an offense against this "nobleman"?
Elijah Jenkins
Just look it up on Wikipedia.
He signed a contract elsewhere with his old contract still running, and then acted like a dick in order to be fired. He went to jail for about a month.

Lincoln Gray
I remember on celebrity death match once Bjork was fighting Beck and then Bach came out of a time machine and killed the both with a plowing tool
Zachary Walker
he has a crapload of kids to feed and a very experimental style continuously moving from place to place (church to church) because clerics hated that music

BTW, the clavichord was Bach's favorite instrument. I can see why, the timbre of the instrument is warm and crisp.

Bach was a protestant of central casting, a hard-worker, and a true MAN.
As a child, he would practice secretly at night. He loved work and would copy scores by hand to get immersed in the thought processes of the great masters. The Bach family were known as master musicians, and Bach would be known as the virtuoso's virtuoso.
As a youth, he would get into brawls - he once nearly knifed an opponent due to a musical disagreement. He was Europe's keyboard virtuoso and remains to this day one of the greatest musicians.
His productivity is truly staggering.

All go all the time, he also managed to father twenty children.

Bach wrote some groovy, wiggy music. Listen to that polyphony!
