Johann Sebastian Bach composed a significant amount of music in both major and minor keys, but his works in major keys slightly outnumber those in minor. This is reflective of the broader Baroque practice, which often favored major keys for their bright, uplifting qualities. However, Bach's mastery of minor keys is evident in many of his most profound and emotionally rich compositions, such as the "St. Matthew Passion" and "The Well-Tempered Clavier." Overall, while he used both, the balance leans slightly towards major keys.
