Johann Sebastian Bach is one of the most famous musicians ever. When he was alive, he was not very well known, but he worked at a church and had to write new music for every week’s service and because of that, he ended up writing a lot of music. Years after he died, his music was discovered and people realized how special his music was.
Today, most people think of Bach as one of the greatest classical composers of all time.
This song was written in something called, Notebook for Anna Magdalena, which was a book of tunes Bach wrote for his wife, Anna.
