Bach was the culmination of the Baroque period. By that I mean he took the musical forms available to him (those in use at the time) and took them to "the limit." He did not develop any new forms. However, musical tastes were changing and his music fell into disuse as out-dated/old-fashioned. Along with those changes, Bach was a "working" musicians, meaning he composed for the task at hand, a concert for a noble benefactor, a need for something for a church service for the organ or choir or as a teaching piece for his students. His music was not revived until Mendelssohn staged a performance of the "St. Matthew Passion" 100 years after Bach's death.
