Bach
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is "Bach". Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was a composer and musician of the Baroque period, born in Germany to a family of musicians. He is known for his instrumental compositions and for vocal music. J.S. Bach is considered one of the greatest composers of all time.
Bach's best-known orchestral works are the Brandenburg Concertos, which he composed in order to obtain a placement for Margrave Christian Ludwig of Brandenburg-Schwedt in 1721; he didn't get the job but this work was and still is one of Bach's greatest successes.
