Johann Sebastian Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21, 1685. His father, Johann Ambrosius Bach was a musician and Bach's big brother Johann Christoph Bach taught him the harpsichord, violin and organ. He went to go live with him. Sometimes, he got up in the middle of the night and looked at music. When his brother found out he was angry at him and gave him a spanking.
When Bach got older he walked long distances to see the organist Dietrich Buxtehude.


In 1707 when Bach was 22 he married his second cousin, Maria Barbara Bach. She had 7 children but 4 didn't survive. In 1720 she died. Know one knows why. After she died he married Anna Magdalena Wilcken. She had 13 children but 12 of them died.

 After a while Bach began to be a little blind. A few months later, he became very blind. He became so blind that he got sick. He became so sick that he died. He died in 1750. His best compositions are Toccata and Fugue, Brandenburg Concertos, his Passions and Inventions

Johann van Beethoven 

Ludwig van Beethoven was born on December 17, 1770. His father, Johann van Beethoven made poor little Beethoven get up in the middle in the night and practice the piano.  He was very, very, tired every day. His father was very strict to Beethoven. He would punch him if he made a mistake. When Beethoven was 7 1/2 he performed his first concert. His father announced that he was 6 which made Beethoven think that he was younger that he was. 

After some more practice he was invited to play for the king of Germany. The king liked it so much that he made Beethoven stay. His father didn’t want Beethoven to stay, but the king said he had to. So, Beethoven stayed and played for the king. After a while Beethoven wanted to go home. At first the king said no, but after a day he let Beethoven go. When Beethoven got back, he continued to play the piano. He also started composing his own music. 

When Beethoven grew older he went to Vienna. While he was there he he met the composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Franz Josef Haydn who became his teacher. After he came back, he began to grow deaf. After a while he was so deaf that he had to use a horn to put to his ear. Then he became so deaf that it hurt and he got sick. Eventually he got so sick that he died. He died in 1827 at the age of 57. His best compositions are Symphony No.5, Symphony No. 6,Symphony No.9, Fur Elise, and The Ruins of Athens.
