J.S.Bach (biography)

21 March 1685 , Eisenach

28 July 1750 , Leipzig

One of the greatest composers of all time. Bach wrote hundreds of pieces for organ, choir, as well as many other instruments. He spent most of his life as a church organist and a choir director. His music combines profound expression with clever musico-mathematical feats, like fugues and canons in which the same melody is played against itself in various ways.

1722/5

This very popular melody is believed to have been in fact composed by Gottfried Heinrich Stolzel (1690-1749). It appeared in Bachs Clavier-Buchlein fur Anna Magdalena Bach (BWV 508).
