Heres a picture of a western classical composer, Johann Sebastian Bach

Heres a brief history about Bach:

 Johann Sebastian Bach was born on 31^st March 1685 and passed away on 28 july 1750. He was a western composer and an organist whose sacred and secular works for choir,orchestra,and solo instruments drew together the strands of the Barouge period and brought it to its ultimate maturity. Although he introduced no new forms, he enriched the prevailing German style with a robust contrapunal technique, an unrivalled control of harmonic and motivic organisation in composition for diverse instrumentation, and the adaptation of rhythms and textures from abroad, particularly Italy and France.

A short description of two of his works

 The inscription of 24 march 1721 on the dedication manuscript to the Margrave, attests for the date of composition for the Brandenburg concerti, but most likely they had been written over a number of years during Bach's tenure as Kapellmeister at Kothen and possibly extending back to the period of his employment at Weimar (1708-1717).

 

The Goldberg Variations, BWV 988, are a set of an aria and 30 variations for harpsichord by Johann Sebastian Bach. First published in 1741 as the fourth series in Bach called Clavier-Ubung; “keyboard practice”. The work is considered to be one of the most important examples of variation form. It is named after Johann Gottlieb Goldberg, who may have been the first performer.

 

Musical innovations

Bach unfortunately did not introduced any new forms.

 

Johann Sebastian Bach's contributions

While Bach's fame as an organist was great during his lifetime, he was not particularly well-known as a composer. His adherence to Baroque forms and contrapuntal style was considered “old-fashioned” by his contemporaries,especially late in his career when the musical fashion tended

towards Rococo and later Classical styles. A revival of interest and performances of his musical began early in the 19^th century, and he is widely considered to be one of the greatest composers in the Western traditions.
