DESCRIPTION:
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), German composer, had numerous relatives who were musicians: from seven generations, 193 out of 200 were musicians. Bach's parents died when he was ten years old, and his oldest brother, Johann Christoph raised him. His brother died when Johann Sebastian was fifteen, and he lived at the St. Michael School where he studied music and was a choir boy. At ninetten, Bach obtained a position as organist at a church in Arnstadt. Throughout his life, he held positions at various churches and in royal courts, and for almost thirty years he was director of music at the St. Thomas School in Lieipzig. He was married twice and had twenty children, several of whom became well-known musicians. On his second wife's twenty-fifth birthday, he gave her (Anna Magdalena) a notebook containing pieces for members of his family to play. His best-known easier clavier pieces come from this notebook. Bach was a prolific composer; his complete works fill forty-six large volumes containing choral music, concertos, orchestral and chamber works, and organ and clavier music.
