Born - 21st March, 1685 in Eisenach, Germany

Died - 28th July, 1750 in Leipzig, Germany

Some of his major works include - 6 Brandenburg concertos, 4 Orchestral suites, 7 Harpsichord concertos, 3 Violin concertos, over 200 Cantatas.

Genres - Sacred music for the German Protestant liturgy especially cantatas, instrumental and keyboard music.

JS Bach began composing at the age of 17 (in 1702) and composed prolifically until he began decomposing in 1750. Ironically, during his lifetime, he was more highly regarded for his organ playing than his compositions.

JS Bach had lost his sight by the time he died.
