Who Was Johann Sebastian Bach?

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) was a German composer and musician of the Baroque era. He is renowned for his intricate compositions and for the intellectual depth of his work. Notable for both his choral and instrumental music, Bach's repertoire includes the Mass in B Minor, the Brandenburg Concertos, and 'The Well-Tempered Clavier.' His compositions are considered some of the greatest in Western classical music history. Bach held various musical posts throughout his life, including positions at the courts of Weimar and Kothen, and finally as Cantor of the Thomaskirche in Leipzig. His influence on subsequent generations of composers is immeasurable.
