Showtunes, if you classify that as a genre. Though his scores do vary in style.
Just one, but we know two versions of it. The first one was written for Christmas, 1723. It included several movements in German, between the traditional Latin verses (BWV 243a). In 1731 or 1733, he took out the German parts and changed the key and some instruments (BWV 243). That is the version that is more often performed today.
Maria (his second cousin) and Johann married in 1707. They had seven children, four of whom survived into adulthood. Maria died in 1720 and Bach then married Anna in 1721 and they had 13 children, six of which survived into adulthood.
Some of Bach's major orchestral compositions were the Bradenburg Concertos. Also, the Toccata and Fugue in D minor, The Well Tempered Clavier, and St Matthew's Passion are considered among the many of his major compositions.
* Toccata and Fuge in D Minor * Praeludium et Fuga in E FLat Major * Schmucke dich, O liebe Seele * Eight little prelude and fugues.
Bach never played the piano. He played organ, harpsichord and violin. He might have owned a piano in his later years just before his death, but this is debatable.
they both died................................
uh yeah they both died fosho!!!!
Hi! This is Steph here to clean up this mess of an answer!
Well, obviously we know they both died, duh, everyone does it at some point. One that I can think of off the top of my head, is that both had loving fathers. Both of them had fathers that helped them into a lifestyle of music. And that's how they got to be a composer and trumpet player. I'd have to do a little research to get some more info, but that's the best I can do without looking around! Hope this helped!
They are both considered to be musical dynasties; those that pass music from generation to generation in their family.
It's when you just play the music of a song and don't sing.
Johann Sebastian Bach wrote immense amounts of music, for organ, for solo clavier (a forerunner of the piano), for solo violin, solo cello, solo flute, for different ensembles of instruments, for solo voice, and for chorus with instrumental accompaniments. In short, he wrote for every instrument in existence at his time.
Both of Johann Sebastian Bach's parent were 50 when they died. His father, Johann Ambrosius Bach, lived from 1645 to 1695, while his mother, Maria Elisabetha Lämmerhirt, lived from 1644 to 1694.

The time period in which Bach lived was the Baroque. The Baroque period was a time period used to describe an ornate artistic time in history.
One needs a good education in counterpoint before attempting to compose classical music. Part of counterpoint is the relationship between one instrument and another, knowing the instruments ranges and limitations. What gets put down on paper may or may not always be humanly possible when playing an instrument.
look at photos of the Bach statue in Leipzig.
CPE Bach had 6 siblings. Only 3 made it to adulthood, and Wilhelm freidemann Bach was also a composer.
Johann Sebastian Bach was very fond of the music of Dieterich Buxtehude, he even walked over 400 kilometres just to hear him play. You can hear many similarities between their music. It is also safe to assume that he was aware of the music of his day and that of course affects every composer of any time in some way.
It was a passion of his and his life revolved around classical music.
His father taught him to play violin and harpsichord.[4] His uncles were all professional musicians, whose posts ranged from church organists and court chamber musicians to composers. One uncle, Johann Christoph Bach (1645-93), was especially famous and introduced him to the art of organ playing. Bach was proud of his family's musical achievements, and around 1735 he drafted a genealogy, "Origin of the musical Bach family"
Handel was a keyboard player. In his time, he was widely popular as an organist. The best evidence for his excellence in harpsichord is the set of eight keyboard suites.
Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 is in the key of C minor, but there is a reasonable amount of modulation across the movements. The first movement begins in C minor but modulates to the relative major (E-flat major), the second movement is in A-flat major and the third movement is in C major. But as I said, there is a reasonable amount of modulation.
Sadly, Bach was largely ignored during his lifetime, although he achieved the post of Kapellmeister in quite a few places. It was only after his death that people started appreciating his music.
