ANSWERS:
1: e, a, c, b, d
2: e. The fifth daughter is Bonnie herself.
This is a classic situation of the mind fixating on one part of the question (the four daughter's names) and dismissing the information in the first part about "Bonnie."
3 : Gone Chopin, Bach soon.
4: a, b, and c.
The Cello Suites were championed in the early 20th-century by famous cellist Pablo Casals; the Brandenburg Concertos were recovered from a private library, where they had been gathering dust, in 1849 (one hundred years after Bach’s death); Felix Mendelssohn revived St. Matthew’s Passion one hundred years after its failed premiere in Leipzig. But the Well-Tempered Clavier circulated in manuscript both during Bach’s lifetime and throughout the 18th century, and was known to both Mozart and Haydn.
