Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)

A composer of the Baroque era, whose apogee he symbolizes and personifies, Johann Sebastian Bach had a major and lasting influence on the development of Western music. The greatest composers, such as Mozart and Beethoven, recognized him as an unsurpassed master.
His work is remarkable in every way: for its harmonic, melodic and contrapuntal rigor and richness, its formal perfection, the height of its inspiration and the sheer number of its compositions. It escapes the traditional gradation (formation, period of maturity, then decline): the quality of early works equals that of later compositions.
Johann Sebastian Bach is often considered the greatest composer of all time, and the father of Western music. (www.wikipedia.fr)
