Born in 1685 in Eisenach

Born in 1685 in Eisenach, Germany, Johann Sebastian Bach elevated Baroque counterpoint to its highest expression. With over 1,000 works spanning the Brandenburg Concertos, the Well-Tempered Clavier, and the St. Matthew Passion, he built the structural foundation upon which all Western classical music rests. Rediscovered by Mendelssohn in 1829, his legacy has only grown in stature.
