Johann Sebastian Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) was a German Baroque composer whose music is central to piano and keyboard repertoire. Known for his mastery of counterpoint and harmony, he wrote works such as The Well-Tempered Clavier, Goldberg Variations, and Brandenburg Concertos. For pianists, Bach’s keyboard pieces are core piano study material, shaping modern piano technique and piano education.
