Johann sebastian bach (1685- 1750), one of the greatest German composers, was born in a musical family in Eisenach. Since 18 years old, he has worked as a musician and organist in many churches and palaces.

In his early days, his works were mostly used as etudes. Until 1829, Mendelssohn conducted and played his Passion of Matthew, which shocked the music world. Through the joint efforts of several generations of musicians, Bach gradually achieved his later aristocratic status.

His works have had a far-reaching impact on the development of modern European music, pointed out a broad road for the progress and development of all mankind's music, and set up a monument for the world's classical music, so he is called "the father of western music".

Style of works

Bach's works are profound, tragic, broad and restrained, and full of the breath of real life in Germany in the first half of the18th century. Bach's works, full of religious content and polyphonic music thinking, reveal people's inner world more broadly, but at the same time, his music has never been divorced from the German music tradition.

The piano music collection with even rhythm is one of Bach's important legacies in the field of "pure music". As a work with German spirit, Equal Rhythm Piano Music Collection embodies that rigorous German thinking. In addition, Bach's band works such as French Suite, English Suite and Six Brandenburg Concertos also express the composer's prayer and desire for peace and a better life.

From the melody characteristics of music, because his music is multi-voice, from the development of harmony, the functional system of big and small harmony is finally determined and shaped by Bach. Even in the middle of18th century, according to what harmony could achieve at that time, this achievement was attributed to Bach, who was even called "the creator of harmony" by Beethoven.
