So where does C.P.E. Bach fit on the Seavey-Sinatra scale?
Athletes seem to have have children who do well in athletics; there are three- and perhaps four-generation families in major league baseball, and the NBA has had several two-generation families (Bryant, Barry, Curry). In the arts, one sees less of that. In painting, I can think of the Lippis, in writing I can't get much past the Amises. In the sciences, I can't think offhand of any such names, though I expect the better informed could.
