Composer Information
Johann Sebastian Bach (31 March [O.S. 21 March] 1685 – 28 July 1750) was a German composer and musician of theBaroque period. He enriched established German styles through his skill in counterpoint, harmonic and motivicorganisation, and the adaptation of rhythms, forms, and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy and France. Bach's compositions include the Brandenburg concertos, the Mass in B minor, The Well-Tempered Clavier, two Passions, keyboard works, and more than 300 cantatas, of which nearly 100 cantatas have been lost to posterity. His music is revered for its intellectual depth, technical command, and artistic beauty. [source from Wikipedia]
Work Information
Bach elaborates his astonishing talent in this work. The perfect and extremely magnificent technique of Fugue is especially esteeming. The first movement begins with the ensemble, then develops the Fugue, and finally ends vigorously. The handling of the Canon counterpoint singularizes the brilliance of the melody and the effect of the relish.
