This is Johann Sebastian Bach. He was born on March 21,1685. The year 1985 is the 300th year of his birth.Such an event is marked by festivals and tributes,and special concerts all year long. He was born into this world to a very musical family. For four generations before him there were musicians. In fact all over the state of germany the Bach name meant music.By the time he started school his father was giving him violin lessons and began singing in the choir of St. George Church on sundays and festival days Then sadness came to the family when his mother and father died he went to live with his older brother Johann Christoph,where here he could study the harpsichord and perhaps even the organ. Through his life he was to write some beatiful song and some sadness and death songs. When Sebastian was 15 years old he set out with a friend to the city of Luneburg. Not having much money they could not afford to travel. At 17 Bach took his first job in the city of Arnstadt,where many of his relatives had played before.
