He assemble Italy, France and Germany, the essence of traditional music, song do its wonderful, perfect match, perfect. Bach did not own reputation in his life, and five years after his death had been forgotten. But in the recent century and a half but his fame continues to grow, and today he is beyond time and space generally considered the greatest composer of one of the two or three, and some people think he is one of the greatest composers.

Bach on March 21, 1685 was born in central Germany today, the forest zone, Eisenach Dulin Gen. Although this is a small town, but it is the citizens are passionate about music. It is said that the city actually inscribed on the gates of the ancient “music always shines in our town” message. Yin and medieval songs often holding a harp, singing poetry here and held singing competitions. Wagner has penned a famous opera “Don ~ Hauser.” Sixteenth-century religious reformer Martin Luther, also here the “Bible” translated into German. Bach family is every inch a musical family, his family early in his next life for many years before had been famous in the music industry. His father was an excellent violinist, grandfather of the two brothers is a gifted composer, uncles and brothers and sisters, several are highly respected musicians.
The musical talent has a very high small Bach, in this growth was originally a very fortunate family, but destiny has chosen to find some trouble: his mother died 9 years old, 10 years old his father died, had to rely on Big Brother continue to support .
Despite the large number of music data stored at home can be overbearing brother is not allow him to read to learn, no matter how hard he pleaded not help. Bach had little brother away from home and late at night while sleeping on the occasion, in the moonlight secretly loved scores with sure strokes written down, which lasted up to half a year, thus greatly damaged his eyesight. In his later years in pain through the blind, until his death.
A loss of only 10 years old, parents and children in this way actually to obtain valuable to their own knowledge of the family, how sad but honorable ah! Strangely enough, the persistent pursuit of such noble and can not actually move his brother – when he discovered the secret of his brother, the legislation was furious, not only ruthlessly confiscated all the hard work of small Bach, but also severely punished him, There is no self-reflection and compassion.
Bach was 15 years old, and finally left home alone, embarked on a path of independent living. His wonderful voice and outstanding by the ancient piano, violin, organ playing skills, is Lvnai • Fort St. Michel church choir attached to admission, at the same time into the school of God. Here’s rich library of classical music, Bach a dig into, like a piece of a huge sponge, to learn, combined with a European artistic achievements of various schools, broaden their musical horizons. In order to play, he often through the night, all night long. Holidays, he would listen to Hamburg to go walking dozens of famous performances.
Review of Bach’s growth path, we can see that he had consulted many famous musicians, but has never been a formal long-term guidance of teachers. For this reason, he was hard as a bee, and sucking around to look for nutrition, as do hard work, expense. Later, when someone asked how his art is such a perfect position to reach, his simple and serious answer: If someone like me make some hard work, he will have the same situation.
In 1702 he graduated from St. • Mitchell, the following year in a chamber orchestra as a violinist. In the next two decades, he worked in many line of business. Bach in a lifetime a prominent organ mainly known for home, although he was a composer, teacher and conductor. Thirty-year-old in 1723 when Bach started in Leipzig St. Thomas Church • any singing class singing, his twenty-seven years in the rest of his life has served as the corner.
Half of the 18th century German carved out in a divided state of the feudal nobility, a nobility of a country castle there, little territory has been carved up in Germany, actually 352 separate small country. Lords, large and small to show off their power and luxury, are generally equipped with opera companies and the court orchestra. Folk artists to survive, most reduced to the court or church musicians, slaves (then Germany, both in the court or the church, regarded as a musician and porters, janitors, cooks and other servants to look exactly the same) Bach, too, are moving escape. Although he was removed over the country, frequent change of place of work, but has been unable to get rid of the humble servant status.
Karabakh has never been high ranking, but can always feed their families, much less in his lifetime, Mozart and Beethoven (and even not as good as Franz Liszt and Frederic • • Chopin) as well-known. Bach all employers can not appreciate his talent. Leipzig, the church hopes to recruit a “first-rate musician,” but they failed to hire two candidates on the first identified, in circumstances that do nothing to Bach as the post of lead singer singing classes! But in a few years ago, he resigned from the court of the Duke of Weimar organist and chief violinist post a job change, the Duke of this to heart, the result will he put in prison. Bach spent three weeks in jail, the Duke finally compassion big time, to release him.
Big German playwright, political commentator Lessing once preached: “genius, if not born in extreme poverty levels, is born in living in very difficult class. God seems to chest level in this class in and out than the other more like genius. it was. in Bach’s life, poverty and death as the specter of a pair of terrible turn and walk away. He not only had never enjoyed a comfortable life richer, but because since the age from 9 the death of their parents have begun to feel the gloom of death, after his father grew up, they just sit their children in the 11 months to the grave (he was twice married, symbiotic with 20 kids.)
Bach at the age of twenty-first with his uncle Sister became husband and wife, their seven children of a symbiotic, but when Bach thirty-five unfortunately died at the age of his wife. The following year he was happy couple adjourned, but his second wife, not only can not help raise the first of seven children, but he gave birth to thirteen. Bach died leaving nine children, four of which became really famous musicians. This is indeed a family of musical genius!
Bach’s later years were made to heal the eye surgery twice, results not only failed to see the light again, but destroyed the body, and finally in July 28, 1750 left the world.
