Disney to create the Sleeping Beauty Castle for Disneyland. As a child, Johann's father taught him to play the violin and harpsichord. His brother, Johann Christoph Bach, taught him to play the organ. In 1707, Bach married his second cousin, Maria Barbara Bach, and they had seven children. In 1708, Bach accepted a post as the court composer, organist, and principal violinist for the Duke of Weimar. The Duke probably liked organ music because it was during this time that Bach wrote most of his organ music, including his Toccata and Fugue in D minor, which is one of the best pieces ever written for the organ.

迪斯尼為他設計了迪斯尼樂園的睡美人城堡。小時候，約翰-巴赫的父親教他拉小提琴和大鍵琴。他的哥哥約翰-克里斯托夫-巴赫（Johann Christoph Bach）教他彈管風琴。1707 年，巴赫與他的二表姐瑪麗亞-芭芭拉-巴赫結婚，育有七個子女。1708 年，巴赫被魏瑪公爵任命為宮廷作曲家、管風琴師和首席小提琴手。公爵可能很喜歡管風琴音樂，因為巴赫的大部分管風琴音樂都是在此期間創作的，其中包括他的《D小調託卡塔與賦格》，這是有史以來為管風琴創作的最佳作品之一。

In 1716, the Kapellmeister for the Duke of Weimar's orchestra died. Bach thought he would be offered this position, but the Duke appointed someone else instead. Because Bach wanted to be a conductor, and there was an opening in Köthen, he politely asked the

1716 年，魏瑪公爵管絃樂隊的指揮去世。巴赫本以為自己會得到這個職位，但公爵卻任命了其他人。因為巴赫想成為一名指揮家，而科恩又有一個空缺，所以他禮貌地請求

Duke of Weimar to be released so he could accept this new post. This made the Duke so grumpy that he put Bach in jail for four weeks before dismissing him. In 1717, Bach accepted his new post as the Kapellmeister for Prince Leopold of Köthen. Prince Leopold's organ wasn't very good, so Bach didn't write organ music during this time. Instead, he focused on composing for the orchestra, writing works like the Brandenburg Concertos, which are now considered the best orchestral compositions of the Baroque era. It was also during this post that his wife Maria died, and Bach married singer Anna Magdalena Vilka. Together they had 13 kids, making him the father of 20 kids. In 1723, Bach accepted his final post, serving as cantor, organist, and music composer for St. Thomas Lutheran Church in Leipzig, Germany.

為了讓巴赫接受這個新職位，魏瑪公爵要求釋放巴赫。這讓公爵非常生氣，他將巴赫關進監獄四周後才將其解僱。1717 年，巴赫接受了新職位，成為科滕的利奧波德親王的指揮。利奧波德王子的管風琴並不出色，是以巴赫在此期間沒有創作管風琴音樂。相反，他專注於為管絃樂隊作曲，創作了《勃蘭登堡協奏曲》等作品，這些作品現在被認為是巴洛克時代最好的管絃樂作品。也是在這個時期，他的妻子瑪麗亞去世，巴赫與歌手安娜-瑪格達萊娜-維爾卡結婚。他們共育有 13 個孩子，使他成為 20 個孩子的父親。1723 年，巴赫接受了他的最後一個職位

He remained there for the rest of his life and focused on composing choral works like his Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring, which is one of the most popular wedding songs.

他在那裡度過了餘生，並專注於創作合唱作品，如他的《人類渴望的歡樂耶穌》（Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring），這首歌是最受歡迎的婚禮歌曲之一。

Johann Sebastian Bach died in 1750. During his lifetime, he was considered an old-fashioned composer and was almost forgotten about after he died. Today, Bach is considered such an important composer that the year of his death is a defining point in music history. It marks the end of the Baroque era.

約翰-塞巴斯蒂安-巴赫於 1750 年去世。生前，他被認為是一位老派作曲家，死後幾乎被人遺忘。如今，巴赫被認為是一位非常重要的作曲家，他去世的那一年是音樂史上的一個決定性時刻。它標誌著巴洛克時代的結束。
