Johann Sebastian Bach (pronounced [jo'han/'jo?han se'bastjan 
'bax]) (31 March 1685 [O.S. 21 March] û 28 July 1750) was a German 
composer and organist whose sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra, 
and solo instruments drew together the strands of the Baroque period and 
brought it to its ultimate maturity.[1] Although he introduced no new forms, 
he enriched the prevailing German style with a robust contrapuntal 
technique, an unrivalled control of harmonic and motivic organisation in 
composition for diverse instrumentation, and the adaptation of rhythms and 
textures from abroad, particularly Italy and France.
Revered for their intellectual depth, technical command and artistic beauty, 
Bach's works include the Brandenburg concertos, the Goldberg Variations, the 
Partitas, the Well-Tempered Clavier, the Mass in B Minor, the St. Matthew 
Passion, the St. John Passion, the Magnificat, The Musical Offering, The Art 
of Fugue, the English Suites, the French Suites, the Sonatas and Partitas for 
violin solo, the Cello Suites, more than 200 surviving cantatas, and a similar 
number of organ works, including the celebrated Toccata and Fugue in D 
Minor.

While Bach's abilities as an organist were recognized and highly respected 
throughout Europe during his lifetime, he was not particularly well-known as a 
composer. His adherence to Baroque forms and contrapuntal style was 
considered "old-fashioned" by his contemporaries, especially late in his career 
when the musical fashion tended towards Rococo and later Classical styles. A 
revival of interest and performances of his music began early in the 19th 
century, and he is now widely considered to be one of the greatest 
composers in the Western tradition.
