Johann Sebastian Bach is regarded as the greatest figure of Baroque music, and many consider him the greatest European composer of all time, earning him the title of the “Father of Music.” He was admired and studied by great composers such as Mozart and Beethoven, but it was Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy who tirelessly promoted his legacy.

Initially drawing from the vast repertoire of German contrapuntal music as the foundation of his style, Bach later incorporated Italian and French influences, which enriched and transformed his work. Through this, he created an original synthesis of diverse musical trends, leaving behind a vast body of compositions that represent the pinnacle of his genre.
