Who is Johann Christian Bach And are Johann Christian Bach and Johann Sebastian Bach the same people?

Actually, they are not the same person. Johann Christian Bach is the son of Johann Sebastian Bach . You can check http://www.jsbach.org/timeline.HTML for more information also. No, they are not the same person. Johann Christian as well as Wilhelm Friedemann, Carl Philip Emmanuel, and Johann Christoph (Johann was a popular name in their family) were all sons of Johann Sebastian Bach. For a complete Bach family tree you can look at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bach_family The confusion with the names probably stemmed from the Anna Magdalena Bach Notebook. One year, J.S. Bach gave his wife, Anna Magdalena, a birthday present - a beautiful notebook with blank pages for her and her children to copy their favourite songs into. This notebook has been preserved, and contains many pieces in the "gallant" style (simple and elegant, many are dance pieces). Some are pieces written by J.S. Bach himself, some are written by Anna Magdalena, some are written by one of the children, and some are written by family friends. Unfortunately, the names of the composers were never written in with the pieces (copyright wasn't a big deal in those days), so in the past, all of the pieces from the Notebook were published under the name of J.S. Bach. Now, more research has been done and we have a little better understanding of the respective composers. I hope that helps. Johann Christian Bach was descendant of Johann Sebastian Bach so no they are not the same person.

Why John Sebastian Bach is popular?

Johann Sebastian Bach is "popular" because he devised a system of counterpoint in the earliest days of Baroque Music. Antonio Vivaldi also wrote many pieces based on this counterpoint. Leopold Mozart studied Bach for many years of his life during his early Vienna years before the birth of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Everybody praises Mozart as the greatest composer of all time, and he was taught "modernized Bach" counterpoint in his youth. His Minuet in G, written at age 4 before his first formal lesson uses Bach" Counterpoint. But back to Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach was a renowned organ player and klavier improviser. He wrote the "Well Tempered Klavier", which was a suite of counterpoint exercises in every possible key, and he tuned the klavier (a harpsichord) between numbers, as it was customary to tune a keyboard during the concert. This is quite long-winded, but I am trying to make a point. Bach had obvious talent in the early Baroque era and his counterpoint rules shaped what music is today. There are college course(which I am taking) on how the early Baroque style is still present in modern music. Even heavy metal has a trace of Bach and Fux counterpoint. (I won't go in to detail on Fux)
