Johann Sebastian Bach (31 March [O.S. 21 March] 1685 – 28 July 1750) was a … Read Full Bio ↴Johann Sebastian Bach (31 March [O.S. 21 March] 1685 – 28 July 1750) was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He is known for instrumental compositions such as the Brandenburg Concertos and the Goldberg Variations, and vocal music such as the St Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor. Since the 19th-century Bach Revival he has been generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time.
The Bach family already counted several composers when Johann Sebastian was born as the last child of a city musician in Eisenach. Having become an orphan at age 10, he lived for five years with his eldest brother, after which he continued his musical formation in Lüneburg. From 1703 he was back in Thuringia, working as a musician for Protestant churches in Arnstadt and Mühlhausen and, for longer stretches of time, at courts in Weimar—where he expanded his repertoire for the organ—and Köthen—where he was mostly engaged with chamber music. From 1723 he was employed as Thomaskantor (cantor at St. Thomas) in Leipzig. He composed music for the principal Lutheran churches of the city, and for its university's student ensemble Collegium Musicum. From 1726 he published some of his keyboard and organ music. In Leipzig, as had happened in some of his earlier positions, he had a difficult relation with his employer, a situation that was little remedied when he was granted the title of court composer by the Elector of Saxony and King of Poland in 1736. In the last decades of his life he reworked and extended many of his earlier compositions. He died of complications after eye surgery in 1750.
Bach enriched established German styles through his mastery of counterpoint, harmonic and motivic organisation, and his adaptation of rhythms, forms, and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy and France. Bach's compositions include hundreds of cantatas, both sacred and secular. He composed Latin church music, Passions, oratorios and motets. He often adopted Lutheran hymns, not only in his larger vocal works, but for instance also in his four-part chorales and his sacred songs. He wrote extensively for organ and for other keyboard instruments. He composed concertos, for instance for violin and for harpsichord, and suites, as chamber music as well as for orchestra. Many of his works employ the genres of canon and fugue.
Throughout the 18th century Bach was primarily valued as an organist, while his keyboard music, such as The Well-Tempered Clavier, was appreciated for its didactic qualities. The 19th century saw the publication of some major Bach biographies, and by the end of that century all of his known music had been printed. Dissemination of scholarship on the composer continued through periodicals and websites exclusively devoted to him, and other publications such as the Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis (BWV, a numbered catalogue of his works) and new critical editions of his compositions. His music was further popularised through a multitude of arrangements, including for instance the Air on the G String, and of recordings, for instance three different box sets with complete performances of the composer's oeuvre marking the 250th anniversary of his death.

Johann Sebestian Bach was born during 1685 and died in 1750 at Leipzig. He was born to a family of musicians (all which were relatively well known before his birth) in a town named Eisenach which was in Northern Germany. His was the 8th and last child to Johann Ambrusis Bach, a director to the town musicians who taught him the Violin. Other notable family members included his second cousin, Johann Ludwig Bach, who was relatively known in that time and would help Bach with some of his Cantatas. Other notable family members include Johann Christpoher Bach; his uncle who introduced him to the Organ, an instrument that Bach wrote for primarily when he was the Court Organist to the Duke of Weimar and his brother, Johann Christopher Bach who taught him the clavichord and exposed him to mainstream music of that time. When Bach was 10, his parents died (His father dying 8 months after his mother) leaving him to be orphaned by his brother. During this time he would study, perform and copy music although this was forbidden as blank ledger lines that time were expensive. His brother would introduce him to German Composers such as Pachabel (whom he studied from), Italian Composers such as Vivaldi and French Composers. Bach then moved to Luneburg to study at St Michael's School where he learnt Theology, French, Greek and Italian. Being in St Michael's school gave Bach the opportunity to play the harpsichord, sing in the choir and also expose himself to European Culture.
In 1703, Bach moved to Weimar to become the Court Organist to the Duke of Weimar. During this time, he expanded his organ works. Another thing that expanded was his fame. Infact, a church was named after him now called, "Bach's Church" which had an Organ with an extended range. Although his fame spread, Bach had poor working conditions and he probably had to do un-related menial duties. He hated his choir. In fact he would call them names and insult them to the point that one of the members chased him with a stick. When Bach reported this incident, the Law wasnt on his side. Bach's run ins with the law extended up to the point that before he moved to Leipzig, he was jailed
In 1706, Bach got a Job at Blausis' Church in Mulhausen. It is notbale that before he got the job there, he performed an early version of his Cantata, 'Christ's Lag in Todd's Banden'. During this time his work condition and choir was beter. He got married to Mary Barbara and even managed to convince the council to renovate the Organ which was costly but in celebration, he wrote a festive Cantata.
In 1708, Bach moved back to Weimar to become the Director of the Ducal Court in which he had 7 children. 2 didn't live for a year and one of them was the famous Classical Composer, " Emannuel Bach." During this time he also learnt how to write dramatic openings which was influenced by the Italians. Bach really liked the Italian style in which you have a Solo and Orchestra alternating in movements. He would transcript Vivaldi's, Tourrelli's and Courelli's music from string to Keyboard. This was also the era when he composed his Prelude and Fugues which included the famous Well Tempered Clavier.
In 1717, Bach was the keppellmeister or Director of Music to Prince Leopold who was a big fan of his work. In this time period, he started writing a lot of Cantatas and his Orchestral and Cello Suites which made sense as this was when his influence of dance music was greater than his influence of Italian Music
Finally, in 1723 he moved to Leipzig where he wrote over 300 cantatas until his death in 1750.
Summary: His Influences were the Italians for their dramatic openings, Georg Bohm, his Organ teacher, His brother and Dance Music
And yes I know you didnt ask but yohu had to know cuz you are stooped

@@georgeklein6363 That's your opinion.
I think Schiff is much better than that growling caveman hahaha
Just kidding, I respect Gould too.
But in my opinion, Bach requires more sophistication.
Gould will never reach the heights Sir Schiff reaches.
There's just too much ego and atitudes that get in the way.

That opening frame, when he is smiling, the audience is smiling back, and the most joyful music begins... Such a wonder to be alive <3
@jordidewaard2937
Currently learning this, and my conservatory teacher keeps telling me that I do it incorrectly, and I should be "less strict" when playing Bach. I honestly didn't really know what he meant, until I heard this. I had been so focused on the correct notes and melody that I honestly forgot about the whole meaning of this piece..Thanks master Schiff for reminding me :)

Three years later…..Me too. I was learning the last movement but found it hard to get it up to the speed of Andras’s because I didn’t want to sacrifice the voicings. I do love Rosalind Tureck’s interpretation though. See what you think.
@peteranon8455
It's amazing to see a man play who so clearly loves the piece he's playing.

Peter Anon : YES!!! Heard him say recently that music should be considered “as a privilege and a gift, not a job.” And, when asked what music is to him, he replied, “Everything! Communication, love...”
