Johann Sebastian Bach

I was born in Eisenach, Germany on March 21, 1685. I had a tough life. By the age of 10 i was an orphan and had to move in with my brother, who was an organist. From there i was exposed to the music scene. At 14 i was given a scholarship to a choral school and my career in music had begun. From there i worked for duke William Ernst, but after almost ten years decided to move on. Ya know, i was married, had a family, i needed more money to support them. Since many people already knew my name, getting another job was easy. Soon i had the most important music position in Germany, the cantor of St. Thomas's Church. Since then i've composed numerous works which made me the great German composer i am today.
