Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was a highly skilled German composer and musician known as the "father of counterpoint." He came from a musically talented family and showed musical abilities from a young age. Though he faced difficulties like losing family members and eye problems later in life, Bach made a career as a church musician and composer, producing religious works and pieces for royalty. However, he was not widely famous until after his death, when his masterful compositions were rediscovered.

Editor's Notes
- Pachelbel’s Canon in D major, is one of his most popular works, and still a favorite today.
- Bach was notable for his violin, harpsichord and organ. He worked on most every type of music at that time, except opera.
- Bach came from a musical background, and attributed to music; four of his children became musical composers. After the death of his parents, he lived with his brother Christoph, who taught him how to play the clavichord. He later achieved a scholarship to St. Michael’s School in Luneburg for his talents. Later, a few of his sons became musicians.
- One of his best known works was composed with a piano, which he didn’t use until his later years. The Musical Offering was dedicated to King Frederick, who offered the theme of the composition. Bach’s oldest son, Carl, worked for the king, which I how the meeting came about. The King proposed a theme and asked Bach to improve it, which he did. This is also when King Frederick gave Bach his nickname “Old Bach”.
- Other than his new credentials, and abundant working conditions, Bach and the prince had a famous and abundant friendship. Before working for the prince, Bach was arrested for a “conflict of interest” quarrel with the Duke William Earnest his former employer. The relationship ended when Prince Leopold married; she did not share his love for music, so Bach was no longer needed at the court.
- Bach married his cousin, Maria Barbara Bach in 1701, whom with he had seven children. She died in 1720.In 1721, he married Anna Magdalena Wilcke, his second cousin; they had thirteen children. Bach had a total of twenty children, of which only ten survived childhood. Four of the children followed in his footsteps to become composers.
- Bach is buried at the Church of St. Thomas in Leipzig. Formerly he was buried in an unmarked grave in St. Johns Cemetery. After over a hundred years his body was transferred to the church, which was destroyed during World War II; that was when he was taken to the church, where he is currently located.
