johann sebastian bach :)

when 16xx SM until 17xx SM. there's no piano at that time. only harpsichord,
"bach" was the one who played the harpsichord.
he was the famous one. he is a composer. :D *proud* :p

and was a German composer, organist, violist, and violinist whose ecclesiastical and secular works for choir, orchestra,
and solo instruments drew together the strands of the BaroQue period and brought it to its ultimate maturity.:)




Johann Sebastian Bach was born in Eisenach, Saxe-Eisenach.
He was the youngest child of Johann Ambrosius Bach,
the director of the Stadtpfeifer or town musicians,and Maria Elisabeth Lämmerhirt.

His father taught him to play violin and harpsichord.
His uncles were all professional musicians, whose posts ranged from church organists and court chamber musicians to composers.
One uncle, Johann Christoph Bach (1645–93), was especially famous and introduced him to the art of organ playing.
Bach was proud of his family's musical achievements,
and around 1735 he drafted a genealogy, "Origin of the musical Bach family". **

On November 6th {1717}, the quondam concertmaster and organist Bach was confined
to the County Judge's place of detention for too stubbornly forcing the issue of his dismissal
and finally on December 2 was freed from arrest with notice of his unfavourable discharge. **


 
bach's handwriting :)

In 1747, Bach went to the court of Frederick II of Prussia in Potsdam, where the king played a
theme for Bach and challenged him to improvise a fugue based on his theme. Bach improvised a three-part fugue
on Frederick's pianoforte, then a novelty, and later presented the king with
a Musical Offering which consists of fugues,
canons and a trio based on the "royal theme", nominated by the monarch. **

 
 (1750)
 Bach's health may have been in decline in 1749; on 2 June,
Heinrich von Brühl wrote to one of the Leipzig burgomasters to request that his music director,Gottlob Harrer,
fill the post of Thomascantor and Director musices posts "upon the eventual ... decease of Mr. Bach.."
Bach became increasingly blind, and the celebrated British eye surgeon John Taylor
(who had operated unsuccessfully on Handel) operated on Bach while visiting Leipzig in 1750.
Bach died on 28 July 1750 at the age of 65.
A contemporary newspaper reported the cause of death as
"from the unhappy consequences of the very unsuccessful eye operation".
Some modern historians speculate the cause of death was a stroke complicated by pneumonia. :(
