Johann Sebastian Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was a German composer, organist and keyboard player of the late Baroque, born in Eisenach. He held church and court posts in central Germany, ending as Thomaskantor in Leipzig, and he is best known for keyboard, organ, orchestral and sacred works such as the Brandenburg Concertos, The Well-Tempered Clavier and the St Matthew Passion. Bach was organist in Arnstadt and Mühlhausen and served at the Weimar court before becoming Kapellmeister at Köthen in 1717, where he wrote the Brandenburg Concertos.
