Johann Sebastian Bach

Just that ... Johann Sebastian Bach.

Bach was organist and master of the choir at a number of different churches in his career, but his last position was the one he held longest - at St. Thomas church in Leipzig.

Bach has been called the father of classical music because he understood musical form and phrasing perfectly (If you know anyone who is into music theory, they should be able to tell you all about analyzing Bach's piano music...it was all I did in Music theory Level 2!) If you can get into classical music, then just put on the Brandenburg Concertos, or Tocatta in D minor (the "Dracula" song) and listen. Let your ears and mind tell you why he's the man! His music is psychological; it gets into your head and puts you in an amazing place. I feel very relaxed, yet very powerful when I listen to Bach. I know I'm opinionated, but just give him a listen...and keep listening, you'll have the songs stuck in your head before you know it, and that is not a bad thing!

Very simply: in his day he was regarded by far the greatest keyboard player (on organ, harpsichord, clavichord and very briefly on piano), as well as an exquisite violinist; his compositions reflect the vast knowledge and experience he had with the music of the time, and he was such an intuitive and complete master of musical forms that he was able in his vocal music to write appropriately with the text, and create riddles and little games in his later music (such as the 'musical offering', BWV 1079). He inspired many of the later composers who are now regarded the pinnacle of musical understanding - his son, C.P.E. Bach, was one of the greatest influences on Mozart; his works for the well-tempered clavier were the way Beethoven became famous as a player; and his St Matthew's Passion was a huge hit (conducted by Mendelssohn) that revived interest in the whole Baroque era and in Bach's works (and that is also how Vivaldi came to be known, though Bach transcriptions of his works). He was a pioneer of forms in his day, such as the toccata form, and had mastered both the traditional Italian styles and the emerging German styles.

Johann Sebastian Bach was a great composer in the Baroque musical period. His great musical talent is known worldwide, and he has composed many compositions.

In the Baroque period, the music literature often gets compiled with the Romantic period, which Bach did not *mostly* write for.

He was a master of polyphonic writing and harmony, shown by his immense output of music, including cantatas, concerti, preludes, fantasias, fugues, toccatas, sonatas, partitas, etc.

No, they were not. They sometimes offered suggestions as to the design, stops and final efficacy of an instrument; and, although they were both magnificent organists, neither of them actually built any instruments.

Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, Brandenburg Concertos, and Tocatta and Fugue in D minor.

By the BWV index he wrote 1126 compositions, but he probably wrote far more that remain lost or undiscovered.

Bach is probably best known as an organist/composer of organ music. He also composed choral sacred cantatas, pieces for the harpsichord, notably the Goldberg Variations; orchestral works such as the Brandenburg Concerti. Violin and cello solo works and choral masses and the "Christmas Oratorio" and "Magnificat" help round out the list.

there are 3 movements in that piece

Well his fathers job was a musician and his mother was a language teacher

The final resting place of Johann Sebastian Bach is in St. Thomas' Church, Leipzig, Germany. He died in the year 1750.

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.

It's when you just play the music of a song and don't sing.
