Johann Sebastian Bach is one of the most distinguished composers and musicians. He was born in Eisenach on 21st March 1685. He belonged to a great The Bachs family, in which every generation represented a higher level in the history of music. He was an organist, a violinist and a singer. He was also a teacher and a conductor. During his days, however, he was appreciated only as a very good organ virtuoso and an expert of the organ's construction. During his life he was moving from one place to the other to find better living conditions and a better-paid job. All his life can be divided into 5 periods of artistic creativity: Arnstadt, Mühlhausen, Weimar, Köthen, Lipsk. He was not famous as a compositor during his life, only further generations discovered his genius. All his life he was creating utilitarian music. Living according to the idea "Soli Deo Gloria" - everything to the praise of God he was a symbol of modesty in his service to art. The most important compositions: over 200 religious and secular cantatas, h-moll Mass, 2 Passions - of St Mathew and St. John, Magnificat, compositions for orchestra (6 Brandenburg's Concerts, suites), compositions for the organ and the piano (Das Wohltemperierte Klavier). He died in Lipsk on 28th July 1750.
"The most stupendous miracle in all music!"
