Bach's biography

Johann Sebastian Bach was born in Eisenach in 1685. He was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He was little-known and was mostly recognized for performing on the organ.

He spent his entire life there, working as an organist, teacher, and composer.

Bach was the youngest of eight children. His father had been a town musician, and probably gave Bach his early music lessons. It is believed that he taught him to play the violin.

When he was 10, Bach found himself an orphan after the death of both of his parents. His older brother, who was a church organist, took him in.

He probably taught Bach much about the organ. Bach had also a beautiful soprano singing voice. 

Bach wrote "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor," one of his most popular pieces for the organ.

 

By 1740, Bach was struggling with his eyesight, but he continued to work despite his vision problems.

Nine years later, he started a new composition called "The Art of Fugue", but he did not complete it. He tried to fix his failing sight by having surgery, but the operation ended up leaving him completely blind.

A year later, Bach suffered a stroke. He died in Leipzig in 1750.

 

 

It is his work: "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor". I hope you like it!!
