What were the three stages of Bach's life?

Answer 1

Johann Sebastian Bach's life can be divided into three main stages: his early years (1685-1703), where he developed his musical skills and held various positions as a musician in Arnstadt and Mühlhausen; his middle years (1703-1723), during which he served as the Kapellmeister in Weimar and composed many of his most famous works, including the "Brandenburg Concertos"; and his later years (1723-1750) in Leipzig, where he was the Cantor at St. Thomas Church, producing significant works such as the "Mass in B minor" and the "Well-Tempered Clavier." Each stage marked significant growth and innovation in his musical style and output.
