Bach

Bach Bach As time passes, many composers leave unforgettable marks that people today look back onto and try to aspire to. Johann Sebastion Back, whom is no exception to this idiom, left a indelible mark. Many look back to his works to both learn and admire. He truly can be considered a music great. Bach, who came from a family of many musicians, was nothing short of a virtuosic instrumentalist as well as a masterful composer. Born in Eisenach, Germany, on March 21, 1685, he was the son of Johann Ambrosius Bach. He taught his son the basic skills for string playing. Later Bach started playing the organ, which is the instrument he is known for in history. His instruction on the organ came from the player at Eisenach's most important church. He instructed the young boy rather rigorously until his skills went over anyone's expectations for someone of such a young age. Bach suffered greatly when his parents died in 1695. He then went to live with his older brother, Johann Christoph, who also was a professional organist. He continued his younger brother's education on that instrument, as well as introducing him to the harpsichord.
