What is the most famous pieces that Bach wrote?

Answer 1

One that is very familiar is "Toccata and Fugue in D minor" which is widely used at Halloween and for Horror films.

Other contenders are "Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring" and "Air on a G String."

Answer 2

Bach is arguably one of the greatest and most prolific composers of all time. His most famous works include the Brandenburg Concertos, The Well-Tempered Clavier (a collection of 48 preludes and fugues), Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, Mass in B Minor, much sacred choral music, and the St Matthew Passion. He wrote Cantatas, Masses and Magnificats, Chorales, Oratorios and many other styles and forms of music. On 2 March 1713, Johann Sebastian Bach was promoted to Concert Master at Weimar, which is where he composed his "Toccatas" and some of his finest organ music.

Answer 3

ANSWER Many of Bach's works became famous, even before he died. While it's probably impossible to say which is the most famous, here are a few that are particularly well known: * The Brandenburg Concertos * Toccata and Fugue in d minor * "Du bist bei Mir" * Das Kleine Fugue ("the little") in G minor * "Jesu, joy of man's desire" * "That sheep may safely graze" * "Ein feiste Berg ist unser Gott"

Answer 4

Toccata and Fugue in D Minor for the organ. But he wrote a lot of other extremely famous pieces too. Such as:

Prelude no. 1 from The Well-Tempered Clavier

The Brandenburg Concertos

Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring

Minuet in G

The Art of Fugue

And MANY other works.

Answer 5

I would say the Minuet in G (BWV Anh. 114), the aforementioned Air which was not orignally just on the G string (from BWV 1068), 'Jesu Bleibet Meine Freude' (from BWV 147) and Toccata in D Minor (from BWV 565).

Answer 6

His music is so broad and famous, it's hard to say. In fact, he may not a have a "most famous" song, as you put it. A little research may answer your question though.
