Proportionally, often his pieces can be divided in two (1/2), three (1/3 and 2/3), and four parts (Вј and Вѕ). All pieces mentioned above include various forms of architectural thinking. The crucial element in BachвЂ™s music is symmetry. In addition, BachвЂ™s interest in polyphonic devices (double invertible counterpoint) can be seen in the Fugue in B flat major from WTC I. Very often prelude foreshadows the fugue by having initial notes of the fugue subject.

In case of D major and B flat major preludes and fugues from WTC, Bach seems to be very much concerned with the relationship between the pieces. Bach used his musical ideas so economically, that it seems at times there is hardly any other motive besides the theme and countersubject. In addition, as is evident from the Fugue in D major and Kyrie, Gott Vater, he draws a piece from a short idea from which everything is constructed. If one particular possibility was unavailable, he would modify the subject in order to imply that one entrance of the subject. For example, D major Fugue from WTC II and Kyrie, Gott Vater in Ewigkeit ClavierГјbung III show that he used all available pitches of the scale for the beginning of the subject, time and pitch intervals, and form of the subject. Furthermore, he composed instrumental and vocal, sacred and secular music.Д«ach tends to exhaust all available possibilities within the piece. Matthew Passion have elements of baroque opera (da capo arias). In addition, Bach created music in almost all known genres of the time, except opera and ballet. Although part of his compositions is lost, what has survived shows that his compositional output was far greater than any other composer who lived before or after him. The first sign of his greatness is BachвЂ™s productivity. Matthew Passion, ClavierГјbung III, andвЂќ Musical OfferingвЂќ will demonstrate his genius. The features of D major Prelude and Fugue from the Well-Tempered Clavier II, B flat major Prelude and Fugue from the Well-Tempered Clavier I, the cantata вЂњEin feste Burge ist unser GottвЂќ, St. He surely can be considered as one of the greatest composers in the history of music. Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was arguably one of the most influential composers, organists, and pedagogues of all time.
