Johann Sebastian Bach

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.

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.

secular and sacred

There are plenty of descendants from the Handel line, but none from the composer himself are known - he never married and died without any recognized heirs.

That isn't to say that there *couldn't* be any - my own father was told as a child that his family was descended from the composer. If Handel did indeed father a child/children out of wedlock, then it was kept very quiet, since there are no official records.

Bach was a Christian by religion. He spent much of his working life as Kapelmeister (Musical director) in churches in Germany. The denomination of Christianity prevalent in Germany is Lutheranism - a Christian Protestant Church founded by Martin Luther who was instrumental in separating the church in Germany from Rome as, in those days the Roman Catholic Church was corrupt. So Bach was a Lutheran. He arranged many Lutheran hymns (called Chorales) for organ, and provided what we now know as his 'Chorale preludes' - many of which are regarded now as short masterpieces for the organ.

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) and George Frederic Handel (1685-1759) were popular composers during the very late Baroque and during the early "pre-classical" or Rococo Period (c.1730 to 1760).

Bach is regarded not only as the greatest Baroque composer of all time, but the greatest composer period. His complex usage of polyphonic texture coupled with his highly technically difficult 16 note melodies and agitato and lively rhythms did not just become Bach's style. It became the style associated with ALL of Baroque music. His impact upon music is unprecedented even by the likes of Mozart and Beethoven. His very death marks the end of an entire Era of music.

Bach composed works for both performance and educational purposes. He was the instrumental figure in the progression to equal temperment much through the use of his volumes of works: Well Tempered Clavier which showcased equally spaced semitones. His preludes and fugues are still amongst some of the hardest and most challenging pieces a pianist may attempt to play. Bach wrote many works and only few of them remained unrecognized to the general populace. This amongst other reasons is why Bach is the greatest composer of all time.

Johann Sebastian Bach lived from the 31st March 1685 to the 28th July 1750. Musically, this was during the Baroque period, which ended shortly after he and G. F. Handel died.

Most certainly yes. Many organists play Bach pieces every Sunday during Church services. The cantatas, B Minor Mass, St. Matthew and St. John Passions are standard parts of the choral repertoire. The Brandenberg Concerti continue to be part of the standard orchestral repertoire. "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" is often played at weddings and the list goes on, including the 2- and 3-Part Inventions and the Well Tempered Clavier, the Italian Concerto all being standard piano pieces, not to mention the Goldberg Variations. And then there are the string pieces.
