The Music of Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) composed over 1,000 pieces, including the Brandenburg Concertos and The Well-Tempered Clavier. His complex counterpoint and mathematical structure influenced all Western music. Yet during his lifetime, he was considered old-fashioned and was primarily known as an organist.
