Johann Sebastian Bach Allemagne Johann Sebastian Bach (pronounced [joˈhan/ˈjoːhan seˈbastjan ˈbax]) (31 March 1685 [O.S. 21 March] – 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.

OF JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH
Interest : Skill level : Magnifique partition de la
messe allemande pour orgue de
J.S.Bach, avec de nombreuses
pièces qui rivalisent de
beauté et de grandeur.
Interest : Skill level : Le mélange de ces deux
instruments n'est pas réussi
et le son est trop dur
cependant la retranscription
est bonne. L'aspect n'est pas
du tout celui que Bach voulu
faire ressortir et je pense
qu'une musique moins staccato
conviendrai mieux a cette
partition. Bien joué QUAND

Interest : Skill level : My instrument is harmonica and
I play both chromatic and
diatonic. I either develop my
own harmonies to a piece or,
with more sophisticated music,
I play as closely as possible
to Oboe or flute scores.
Mostly piano scores suit my
purpose.
