Johann Sebastian Bach is a German Baroque composer and organist who influenced many later musicians and composers of the European School. J.S. Bach's music became a symbol of the Baroque era: it most clearly reflected the spirit of the time with musical intonations characteristic of the Baroque. Bach's work is characterized by seriousness and grandeur.
During Bach's lifetime, the organ was a very popular and beloved instrument. Music for the organ became the basis of all Bach's work. An important part of the composer's organ music consists of choral compositions. These works are otherwise called choral preludes or simply chorales. These are the melodies of Protestant hymns, which the composer surrounded with his invented professional voices. This music exudes seriousness, encourages thinking, concentration, as such moods are usually present in the text of religious hymns. The most important attention in these compositions is given to the melody of the chorale itself.
Father of the musicians Wilhelm Friedemann, Karl Philipp Emanuel, Johann Christoph Friedrich and Johann Christian.
