Bach is generally regarded as one of the most important composers in the history of music and is honored as "the father of Western 'modern music'" and one of the most important figures in the history of Western culture. Below are the stories of Bach that I have collected and compiled. I hope it will be helpful to you.
The Story of Bach
Bach was born into a musical family. Many people in his family cast envious glances at him, but it seemed that God did not take very good care of Bach. It was just that in his later years, he suffered from poverty and became blind. As a result, he lived a very poor life in his later years. His body was quietly buried in the church cemetery without even a tombstone. The wife had no means of living and lived in a poor shelter. Ten years later, the wife died.
When Bach was ten years old, his parents died, and Bach was taken care of by his brother. At the same time, his brother also guided and taught Bach's music. Bach's story is inseparable from Bach's love for music. Because of his love for music, Bach's relationship with money became tense during his career. If a person's ambition is not just about the material things in his life, then this person will endure humiliation and hardship for the things he loves, and he is willing to live at a very low material level. Bach was such a person. In the court of that era, Bach was squeezed by the court musicians and the religious system, which made it impossible for his reforms to start and have no results. So Bach could only endure in silence and be willing to be a teacher for a salary. Extremely poor teachers. But on this musical path, he did his best. The story of Bach is also inseparable from his stubbornness and his stubbornness towards music.
Today, Bach's music has become an immortal classic and "a certain unattainable standard." Every generation of musicians since him has all received his profound influence; every major development in the history of music since him has all felt his powerful promotion.
What experiences did Bach have in his life?
Bach was unknown in his life, and his life was ordinary. Born and raised in a court family, he was extremely talented in music and was a famous court musician during his lifetime. In his later years, he spent a quiet life in the church.
Perhaps he did not receive much attention during his lifetime, but he was forgotten by the world in the fifty years after his death. But over the course of nearly a century and a half his fame continued to grow. Bach integrated the musical styles of different nations in Western Europe. He combines the essence of traditional Italian, French and German music, and his music is as wonderful as it is perfect. He is generally regarded as one of the two or three greatest composers of all time and space, and some consider him the greatest of them all. Bach's life may not have had many ups and downs, but this kind of temperament, or this kind of life experience, can make Bach's music very quiet and pleasant. Bach spent a long time in his career as a court musician and was also skilled in the creation of religious music. That is to say, Bach's life in the court made Bach's music combine the splendor of court music and the rational thinking of religious music. But for more than a century after Bach's death, Bach was indeed the most musically accomplished musician.
Bach’s life was spent in silence and reason, so the sound of rational music is reflected in Bach’s music. Bach’s later years were extremely poor and he was blind in his later years. Inseparable from the experience of peeking at music scores as a child.
What is the title of Bach?
Bach is called the "Father of Modern Music". Bach's music during that period was extremely accomplished, that is, Bach is called "the father of modern music". Father" reasons.
Bach is the highest-level artist among all famous composers. He was familiar with all the musical forms of his time and could use any of them freely to the point of proficiency. In addition, his orchestral works were highly logical, varied, with appropriate and touching themes and rich melodies, so he Be praised even more. Most serious music students find the structural depth and complexity of Bach's works to be infinitely more fascinating than the more accessible works of most other composers. Many people with a casual interest in music think of him as a bastard, but it should be noted that his followers are not a handful of musical luminaries, and his recordings probably sell better than those of any other classical composer except Beethoven. Such attainments are also the reason why Bach is called the father of modern music.
Bach’s title as the father of modern music can be said to be extremely prestigious, and it is because of Bach’s music that we recognize this classical musician. Bach's work was a very innovative work for the religion of that period. It was also a kind of serious music, a catharsis of reason needed by religion, and a popularization of religious rationality. Reason is the temperament required by religion, and Bach's works are a communication channel for religion.
