1. Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21, 1685, in Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany, into a large and distinguished family of professional musicians. His father, named Johann Ambrosius Bach, was a violinist and trumpeter, employed by the city of Eisenach. His uncles were church organists, court musicians and composers. His mother and father died before Bach was 10. As an orphan, he moved in with his eldest brother, J. C. Bach, an organist and composer, under whose tutelage Bach studied organ music as well as the construction and maintenance of the organ.
2. The question means, What was there music style.. And what was the instruments they played/liked/was good at.
(Not gonna give that one away..)
3. Ill tell you one. But im not gonna give more help. You got to do it yourself. kk. Bach inspired beethoven. You find out how.
1. Bach at a very young age was proficient in the musical arts, being the youngest child in a family of town musicians. His father was an organist and young Bach began to take after his father in playing the organ. After competing in a organist competition, he was offered a place as a violinist (back at that time the pianists "organists" were valued because of their exceptional ability to sight read) But he chose to remain an organist, and traveled to many different towns offering his talent. He was able to compose many beautiful pieces which were later converted to piano, violin, ect. He was given the title "Capellmeister" which is equivalent to the highest honor in music at that time, and composed many pieces for the royal families.
2.
Bach was an organist and harpsichordist (the piano at that time) he favored the organ because of the rotund sounds and boldly done music. He was the driving force behind the Baroque classical age.
3. His music inspired many churches and choirs as his main career was working with choirs. Yo-yo ma, the famous chinese cellist was inspired greatly by Bach's work
Douglas Hofstadter was inspired by Bach's slight variations of music that eventually brought the listen back to the original key. Now they are known as "Canon"s (not the cannon that goes boom, it is a style of how classical music can be played).
