Bach tuned his own harpsichords and clavichords and found other people's tunings unsatisfactory; his own allowed him to play in all keys and to modulate into distant keys almost without the listeners noticing it. Also, Bach required all the major thirds to be sharper than pure which is in any case virtually a prerequisite for any temperament to be good in all keys.

Bach used instruments in the motets only for doubling the voices. In many of Bach's cantatas, the opening chorus includes the chorale melody complete in one voice whioe the other voices and instruments pursue the main concerted idea of the movement.

Johann Sebastian Bach died on July 28, 1750 at the age of 65.

Yes he did. His eyesight was so bad, he decided to have an operation on it. In fact, the first operation was to cut out some cataracts that appeared. Eventually, he had to have another operation because the cataracts reappeared.

Coming from a family of church musicians and serving as one almost all his life, everywhere he lived: Eisenach, Ohrdruf, Lüneburg, Arnstadt, Mühlhausen, Weimar, Köthen, and Leipzig, as well as every place he visited on sundays, for example on the occasion of inaugurating a new organ. Bach was a Lutheran.

Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21st l685, the son of Johann Ambrosius, court trumpeter for the Duke of Eisenach and director of the musicians of the town of Eisenach in Thuringia. For many years, members of the Bach family throughout Thuringia had held positions such as organists, town instrumentalists, or Cantors, and the family name enjoyed a wide reputation for musical talent.

The family at Eisenach lived in a reasonably spacious home just above the town center, with rooms for apprentice musicians, and a large grain store. (The pleasant and informative "Bach Haus" Museum in Eisenach does not claim to be the original family home). Here young Johann Sebastian was taught by his father to play the violin and the harpsichord. He was also initiated into the art of organ playing by his famous uncle, Johann Christoph Bach, who was then organist at the Georgenkirche in Eisenach. Sebastian was a very willing pupil and soon became extraordinarily proficient with these instruments.

When he was eight years old he went to the old Latin Grammar School, where Martin Luther had once been a pupil; he was taught reading and writing, Latin grammar, and a great deal of scripture, both in Latin and German. The boys of the school formed the choir of the St. Georgenkirche, which gave Johann Sebastian an opportunity to sing in the regular services, as well as in the nearby villages. He was described as having 'an uncommonly fine treble voice'. The Lutheran spirit would have been strong in Eisenach, for it was in the Wartburg Castle standing high above the town, that Martin Luther, in hiding from his persecutors, translated the New Testament into German.

Roads were still unpaved in the smaller towns, sewage and refuse disposal poorly organized, and the existence of germs not yet scientifically discovered. Mortality rates were high as a result. At an early age Johann Sebastian lost a sister and later a brother. When he was only nine years old his mother died. Barely nine months later his father also died.

Johann Sebastian and one of his brothers, Johann Jakob, were taken into the home of their eldest brother, Johann Christoph (born l671) who had recently married and settled down at Ohrdruf, a small town thirty miles south-east of Eisenach. Johann Christoph, a former pupil of Pachelbel, was now well established as organist of the St. Michaeliskirche, Ohrdruf.

gavotte originated as a French folk dance, called after the Gavot people of the Pay de Gap region of France. Gavottes can be accompanied a solo singer, by one instrument or a group, violin, drum or bagpipe. It became popular in the court of Louis X1V, thus composers of the baroque period incorporated this music in their own, Bach for example would be the best known

J.S. Bach was very poor during his lifetime. Thanks to the hard work of his loving wide, Anna Magdalena, his works were preserved until Mendelsohn happened upon them. Overtime, his works became very popular but Bach's greatness was not realized buring his life.

The Prelude, Fugue and Allegro for lute in E-flat major was composed in 1740, during Bach's tenure as Kappelmiester at Leipzig.

Johann Sebastian Bach was born in 1685 in Germany. Bach died on July 28, 1750 at the age of 65. The cause of his death, though not known, is thought to be from a stroke.

The truth is he never stopped writing music. It was said that J.S Bach wrote music until he died in 1950 after a fatal eye operation, stroke and pneumonia

I don't believe there is any one inventor of musical theatre. It spawned from Vaudeville shows though, and Showboat is the name of the show that's commonly referred to as the first geniune stage musical. (Operas are an exception and differ greatly from musical theatre. They go wayyy back before Showboat and Vaudeville.) I don't believe there is any one inventor of musical theatre.

The baroque period in music lasted, broadly speaking, from 1600 to 1750. J S Bach died in 1750. However, it is important not to make too strong a link between those facts. Other great composers of the baroque outlived Bach; for example, Handel lived until 1759 and Telemann until 1767. One period in music does not end and another begin overnight. Some composers had already started to compose in the new 'classical' style before 1750, while others were still writing in the baroque style after that date.

If we are talking about JS Bach, he had to spend a month in jail because he tried to quit his job composing and playing for a duke.

If we are talking about Sebastian Bach, ex singer of the Skid Row band, he went to jail for drugs charges.
