Extended information:

Bach is the greatest composer who has combined the music of the Netherlands, Italy and France since the 16th century, and is revered as the "Father of Music" in modern times. His works are not only highly logical and well-structured, but also intrinsically philosophical, profound and timeless. Because of his lofty humanitarian beliefs and unyielding pursuit of a better life, his music is often lively and humane. Feng Lan believes that Bach is the highest level and greatest composer among the world's composers.

First of all, Bach developed music from vocal music as the main body to instrumental music as the main body, and developed the instrumental music playing skills to an unprecedented peak. Before Bach, music was dominated by vocal music, and it was rare to use musical instruments as accompaniment. Instrumental music had no independent status. Bach gave full play to his clavichord playing skills and invented the keyboard fingering method of using five fingers together. Before Bach, the keyboards of organ and fortepiano were played without thumbs and only with four fingers. Bach invented the thumb fingering method, which laid the foundation for today's piano fingering.
