Johann Sebastian Bach

Master of counterpoint

German Baroque composer and organist (1685-1750).

A virtuoso organist who fathered 20 children and wrote music of staggering mathematical beauty. Largely forgotten for decades after his death, he was rediscovered when Mendelssohn revived his St. Matthew Passion — and is now revered as a pillar of Western music.
