Johann Sebastian Bach
In the year 1685, Johann Sebastian Bach was born. He went on to become one of the world’s best musicians. He was a talented composer who began his career as an organ prodigy. He left his impact on history, though, by writing music for the church. Many people will tell you that just a few composers have accomplished what he has.
