Dates: March 21st 1658- July 28th 1750

Life: Johann Sebastian Bach was born into a musical family and so it was inevitable that he became a musician and composer. His first love was the organ and he composed many fugues (or complicated tunes with many parts that were used to make musical patterns).

He is most famous for these compositions and for his cantatas, St. John Passion and St. Matthew Passion. His most famous short piece is Air on a G String.
