Biography

Edit

Perhaps the finest exemplar of the baroque era (and for many music lovers, of the art of composition, period), J.S. Bach (1685-1750) composed major, complex works in every contemporary genre of music except opera. Both his sacred and secular compositions are among the finest ever penned. Their brilliant constructions synthesize the various national styles practiced by Bach's peers - though in terms of stature he had few of those.
