J.S. Bach was a very prolific (and great) composer. He wrote over a thousand pieces! He wrote famous pieces for choir, solo instruments (like organ and violin), and orchestra. He is best known for his contrapuntal style (countering voices). His most notable works are: Brandenberg Concertos, Well-Tempered Clavier, English Suites, French Suites Cello Suites, Mass in b minor, and Tocatta and Fugue in d minor, among many others. For a larger list of Bach's compositions, I recommend the wikipedia article "List of compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach.

What do you think about expression in air on g string?
"air on the g string" is nothing you can wear but it is a piece of music composed by j.s.bach, from one of his orchestra suites, to be played by string instruments (i.e., in this case, violin, viola, celli). the term "air" relates to its character, as it is a slow, songlike piece which often is called "air" in music. string instruments have different strings, according to the names of musical notes. violins, for instance, have the four strings e-a-d-g. so "air on a g string" means a piece of slow music to be played on the string "g", especially that composed by bach.
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.
