Johann Sabastian Bach was a great composer and a talented musician of the Baroque period (1600 to 1750).
He composed many pieces such as, "Brandenburg Concertos", "Goldberg Variations", the "Mass in B minor", and others. However, one of his most well known composition is the "Well-Tempered Clavier" composed in 1722.Bach played the violin, harpsichord, and the clavichord. He married a German girl named Maria Barbara from Schwarzburg-Sondershausen,
Germany in 1707. In 1720 Maria unexpectedly died without notice while her husband was on a trip. She was buried on July 7. So Bach remarried
in 1721 to Anne Magdalena of Zeitz, Germany. He lived a happy life until 1749 when his heath started to go down and he began to loose his sight.
About a year later he died of what the Doctors think was a combination of a stroke and pneumonia.
