Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) is widely regarded as one of the greatest composers in Western music history. Born in Eisenach, Germany, Bach’s extensive body of work includes sacred and secular compositions that demonstrate profound technical mastery and emotional depth. 

His compositions, such as the Brandenburg Concertos, the Well-Tempered Clavier, and the Mass in B Minor, remain foundational to classical music and continue to influence musicians today. 

Bach’s innovative use of harmony, counterpoint, and musical structure set new standards for composition during the Baroque era. Despite limited recognition during his lifetime, his reputation grew after his death, and he is now celebrated as a master of intricate musical craftsmanship. Bach’s music is known for its spiritual depth, complexity, and beauty, inspiring countless composers and musicians around the world. His legacy endures through his timeless works, which continue to captivate audiences and musicians alike.
