Musical puns, jokes, and teasers

Since we're now in 2014, I thought that it might be fun to look
at Bach's fascination with the number 14 and the golden ratio.
For information on this topic, this link is well worth checking out:-

In particular, I find this page of it absolutely fascinating:-

Thought for the day:-
A woman is like a piano.
If she's not upright, she's grand!

Hmm...is this a possible etymological explanation of the term 'baby grand'''??

it would certainly fit the "boudoir" grand

[Timtin]

Mine's a baby grand - i.e. small and spends all her time lying
on her back. She has beautiful curves and nice legs, but is so
highly strung that she's overstrung. We make romantic music
together frequently. I can hardly keep my fingers off her!

Here are another set of 10 anagrams.
Which two are the odd ones out?
1.Laughable with scam. August Wilhelm BACH
2.Happier call - I'm punchable! Carl Philipp Emanuel BACH
3.Rich, posh batch. Christoph BACH
4.An obscene catch. Constance BACHE
5.Humane cable. Emanuel BACH
6.Drab scar-face whined. Francis Edward BACHE
7.Ninth horrid job, chaps - chief char. Johann Christoph Friedrich BACH
8.The jobs chain - bananas! Johann Sebastian BACH
9.Damnable, rich hole. haven't got a clue
10.I'm mean, half-blind chewer. Wilhelm Friedemann BACH

the odd ones out are brother and sister Constance and F.E. Bache who happened to be British, the others were related in some way, were they also musicians??

PS clue no. 1 has a wrong letter in it, the august gentleman was augast at your mistake!

[Timtin]

Top marks, 'august gentleman' Brian!
Sorry about the clue error. You could say
it came 'with laughable scam' included.
It should, of course, have read:-
1.With laughable scum.
Ans. to No.9:- Leonhard Emil Bach.
I was going to include the other 10 Bachs
listed on IMSLP, but the clues were even
more crap than the ones given, and kept
using the same words.
Regards,
September gentleman.

Francis Edward Bache has been mentioned
a little elsewhere on this forum, and having
looked at the link below on the excellent
unsung composers forum, it seems that he
packed a lot of compositional work into his
short life.

Any ideas who wrote this, and what it's from?
