Johann Sebastian Bach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Bach drew the soprano and alto choristers from the School, and the tenors and basses from the School and elsewhere in Leipzig. |
 | | Bach was best known during his lifetime as an organist, organ consultant, and composer of organ works both in the traditional German free genres such as preludes, fantasias, and toccatas, and stricter forms such as chorale preludes and fugues. |
 | | Bach's other large work, the Mass in B minor, was assembled by Bach near the end of his life, mostly from pieces composed earlier (such as Cantata 191 and Cantata 12). |
