 Johann Sebastian Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach parents are Elisabeth and Joann Bach. His
parents died in 1694 when Johann was almost ten. He went to live
with his brother Christopher. His brother sent him to school.
When he comes home his brother gives him on the clavier, a
keyboard. Johann hated the words “ That is enough for today.”
 Bach’s Adult life
Bach lived with his wife and thirteen children. He played the organ
for a church choir. He wanted to quit his job because mean people
bossed him around. He also had to teach boys at St. Thomas
school. To me that sounds like a very hard life compared to mine.

Accomplishments
Johann Sebastian Bach was a very interesting man. He composed over
1,000 pieces of music. Which included Cantanas, Lutheran Chorales, and
Toccata? Some of the songs he composed were Andante, Allemande, and
Ouverture. I think Bach’s music is smooth, and harmonious. Bach had a very
special talent.
