Johann Sebastian Bach was born in Eisenach, Germany on the 21st of March
1685 and died in Leipzig, Germany on the 28th  of July 1750. Bach first learned
to play the violin from his father. However, upon his parents? death when he was
10, Johann Sebastian went to live with his brother Johann Christoph who taught
him to play on the keyboard instruments of the time. When J.S. Bach was 15 (in
1700), he journeyed to Luneburg with a fellow music student where the pair were
admitted to the church choir at St. Michael's and given a free scholastic
education .

Bach was nearsighted from childhood. Later in life, when his eyes showed grave
weakness, he undertook an operation in 1749 that left him totally blind .
after ever, on 18 July of 1750, his sight was suddenly restored, but immediately
afterward he became stricken with apoplexy and several days later he died.

Bach is one of the greatest masters in music. However, his
virtually ignored not really appreciated during his own time as his music was
attention virtually ignored for a half century after his death. It wasn't until 1829 that attention began to mount on behalf of Bach's music. His abilities mark a particular springboard in the art of composition, particularly his mechanical an
technical ability in the craft of invention and counterpoint , which remain unsurpassed.
