No, John Sebastian Bach was not deaf, that's Beethoven, but I think Bach was blind by the end of his life.
What was elgar's most famous piece?
I assume you mean the British Composer. that would have to be Pomp and Circumstance sometimes called the Graduation march . I believe it was written in l902 so when they use it for the ceremonial purposes, say in l9Th century dramas, it is inaccurate, was not used at the time as it had not yet been written!
The composer known as Pérotin or "Perotin the Great" was born circa 1200 AD. Some of his musical compositions were recorded in the "Magnus Liber" of Notre Dame cathedral in Paris.

Richard Wagner, the music is from "A Midsummer Night's Dream".

What type of music is jesu by bach?
I'm taking on faith that you're referring to the popular "Jesu, joy of man's desiring", often played at weddings and at the Christmas holidays. If not--then disregard the rest.
The melody is from a "chorale" originally titled "Werde munter, mein Gemüthe", by the composer Johann Schop. A chorale is a tune used in the Lutheran tradition for congregational and/or choral singing. It was common for composers to make new arrangements of these familiar tunes.
Bach arranged this chorale tune with different text, "Jesu bleibet meine Freude" ("Jesus remains my joy") and used it in the 10th section of his cantata "Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben" BWV 147. Since this was the final section, it was traditional for the congregation to sing along with the choir on the melody.
The original version is written for chorus accompanied by strings, organ, and a single trumpet that plays the melody (perhaps to help lead the congregation). This accompaniment by itself makes a nice instrumental. In the early 20th century Dame Myra Hess also made a very popular arrangement for piano, which no doubt contributed to its rise in popularity at weddings.
No he can't. He said, That after 6 months of lessons all he learned was how to look like he was playing.
The six harpists (seven, if you count the one on stage) in Das Rheingold, the preliminary evening to the Ring cycle. The harpist Tombo approached Wagner during a rehearsal of the ending, the "Procession of the gods into Valhalla", to complain that the parts as written were unplayable. Wagner replied "You cannot expect me to be able to play the harp. You see what effects I want to achieve; now arrange your part as you like". Presumably Tombo and his fellow harpists did just that. This episode is recounted in several sources, one being Jonathan Brown's Great Wagner Conductors: a Listener's Companion, in the corrected edition of 2014. The place in which this occurred, where it is given in the source, is Munich. In that case it wasn't the first performance in 1869, which Wagner boycotted.
