Biography

Johann Sebastian Bach, the Cantor of Leipzig

Johann Sebastian Bach, one of the greatest composers in the history of music, left an incomparable work of perfection. With more than three hundred cantatas, his music commands veneration and admiration. His genius dominates Western music, his structured mind was of a prophetic nature and his sacred and secular music asserted his nobility. Orphaned at the age of ten, the composer received a solid education and met the greatest composers of his generation.
