JS Bach
1685–1750
Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and virtuoso organist whose genius defined the pinnacle of the Baroque era. Over a prolific career spanning prestigious court and church posts in towns like Weimar, Köthen, and Leipzig, he crafted an immense body of work that fused intricate structural complexity with profound emotional depth.
His masterworks, including the Brandenburg Concertos, The Well-Tempered Clavier, and the monumental St Matthew Passion, revolutionized Western classical music. Though celebrated in his lifetime primarily as a legendary keyboard improviser, Bach is now universally revered as one of the most influential and foundational composers in history.
