    About this ebook

    If you ever study music, chances are that you will end up hearing the name “Bach” somewhere along the line. The German composer is one of the most famous musicians of all time, and throughout his life he penned absolutely beautiful music that is still popular today. Johann Sebastian Bach, sometimes only referred to as J.S. Bach, or Sebastian Bach, wrote music that today is considered part of the classical genre.

    You may know Johann Sebastian Bach’s name, but perhaps you've wondered, "What's so great about him?”

    This book (part of the “What’s So Great About...”) series, gives kids insight into life, times and career of Johann Sebastian Bach.
