Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21, 1685 in Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany. This is the hometown of Martin Luther, the leader of the religious reform movement, and it was also the center of the peasant uprising led by Thomas Münzer, the leader of the peasant uprising in the 16th century. People living in this small town love music very much. It is said that the words "Music often echoes in our town" are inscribed on its ancient city gate. nbsp;Bach was born into a respected musical family. His great ancestor, the baker nbsp; Fetter Bach, was a music fan. Even when he went to the mill to grind flour, nbsp; he took his beloved zither (a plucked instrument popular in Germany and Austria) with him. . His great-grandfather Johannes (about 1580-1626) was a well-known musician. Johannes' eldest son Johann (1604-1673) was the first composer of the Bach family, and three of his works still exist, vividly reflecting the social scene during the Thirty Years' War. His son Talisdorf (1613-1661) was Bach's grandfather, nbsp; he was also a musician; his third son, Heinrich, was also a famous musician. Bach's father was a violinist in Eisenach. It is already the fifth generation to reach Bach. Bach's sons are also famous musicians. Over the past two hundred years, more than fifty musicians have appeared in the Bach family, so that the Bach family name has become synonymous with the music family in the local area. The last member of the Bach family died in 1871, and this great line ended here. nbsp;This family has lived all year round in a small country gathered in the mountains of Tullingen, the center of Germany, and has little exposure to the outside world. They took music as their profession, just like the habits of blacksmiths, tailors and other industries at that time, which were passed down from generation to generation. Most of them are church organists, school music teachers and church choir leaders. Occupations such as city nbsp; musician of municipal public groups. Most of the people who interact with this family are craftsmen. nbsp;They always hold family gatherings in Thuringia every year. At the party, they have dinner, dance, sing, and discuss work. Bach has been influenced by music since he was a child, and grew up in national and mass music life. At the same time, his father Amprosius Bach taught him music skills. At the age of seven, Bach entered a Latin school affiliated with a local church and was an outstanding student. He also participated in a hymn team composed of students and sang religious songs in various festival performances and at weddings and funerals to earn some money to pay for his tuition. nbsp;When he was nine years old, Bach's parents unfortunately passed away one after another. His elder brother John Christov (1671 ~ 1721) took him to the city of Oldruf, where he went to school and learned music from his brother. Not only does he have excellent academic performance, but he also shows outstanding singing talent. nbsp;Little Bach's interest in music grew day by day, and he began to be dissatisfied with his brother's craftsman-like teaching. His endless questions also made his brother angry. It is said that his brother possesses the handwritten scores of many works by the most famous German music masters at that time, Robert Geier (1616-1667) and Kehl (1627-1693). Xiaobanbsp;He wanted to see these scores several times, but his brother refused. But little Bach was driven by nbsp; a strong desire for knowledge. Whenever it was quiet at night, he quietly got up, nbsp; took out these scores from the bookcase, and copied them by the moonlight. Just copy it like this, Du nbsp; Ah, half a year passed, and he finally finished copying it. One day, after his elder brother found out about this, he ruthlessly took away the hard-earned music scores from the child... nbsp; Tenacious character and indomitable spirit.
Diligent self-study will lead to future success. Bach devoted all his energy to the violin, clavichord, nbsp; especially the organ performance practice. His brother was a disciple of Pachelbel (1653-1700), a great German musician at that time. Through his brother, Bach learned Pachelbel's style, which had a clear influence on his future creations. nbsp;Five years have passed in Oldruf. When my brother had his fifth child nbsp; Bach, who had long wanted to live independently, left his brother's home and came to Lüneburg alone. He was only fifteen years old at this time. nbsp;Lüneburg is the center of religious singing and music in northern Germany, and the children's choir herenbsp;is quite outstanding. With his beautiful singing voice, dexterous violin, piano, and organ playing skills, the young Bach was admitted to the "Excellent Singers" choir affiliated with St. Michael's Church in Lüneburg, and at the same time entered the seminary to study. Although you can get some meager salary here, you still have to go out on the streets to sing and sing with your classmates. The library here contains many works by ancient German and Italian musicians. Bach plunged into them and studied these manuscripts with all his heart, which greatly broadened Bach's musical horizons. He also contacted Blum, a famous composer and organist from another church, and asked him for advice. He also went to Hamburg more than once to listen to Bum's old teacher and organ master Reinken. Operas by opera composer Kesser (1674-1739). In order to study French music, he went to the Qile court to work as a temporary musician, where he came into contact with the string music of the French composer Lully (1632-1687), and also listened to many performances of French fortepiano music. Like a sponge, Bach tried his best to absorb and integrate the artistic achievements of various European schools at that time. He studied hard and became an outstanding performer, musical instrument connoisseur and composer. Later
