Johann Sebastian Bach, composer of the Baroque Era -

Born - 21st March, 1685 in Eisenach, Germany

Died - 28th July, 1750 in Leipzig, Germany

JS Bach seems to have played the organ almost exclusively. Much of his composing seems to be focussed on keyboards, but when he moved to the Cothen Court to work for Prince Leopold, he was able to exploit the instrumental resources there, presumably the musicians, but not to actually play the instruments himself.
