# Johann Sebastian Bach (@johann-sebastian-bach)

Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer, organist, and Kapellmeister of the Baroque era. The work is associated with contrapuntal mastery, harmonic direction, dance forms, chorale tradition, and compositional synthesis. Major examples include the Brandenburg Concertos, Well-Tempered Clavier, Mass in B Minor, passions, cantatas, and organ works. A balanced account also considers a career rooted in court, church, and civic institutions rather than later notions of the autonomous genius.
