Johann Sebastian Bach
German Baroque Composer
(1685-1750)
Acclaimed only long after his death,
Bach mastered many musical talents:
singer, violinist, organist, harpsichordist,
and composer. His musical style is
based on northern German
contrapuntal with a majority of his later
work having influence from an Italian
styling. Bach’s appointments include
organist at the ducal court at Weimar,
kapellmeister at the princely court of
Kothen and cantor at St. Thomas in
Leipzig. He is the inventor of the
harpsichord concerto genre and holds
the title as the greatest composer of the
Baroque era.
