Best Answer

Bach is probably best known as an organist/composer of organ music. He also composed choral sacred cantatas, pieces for the harpsichord, notably the Goldberg Variations; orchestral works such as the Brandenburg Concerti. Violin and cello solo works and choral masses and the "Christmas Oratorio" and "Magnificat" help round out the list.
