Bach was born and raised in the German town of Eisenach in a large musical family. His father played multiple instruments and worked as director of the town’s musicians, while his eldest brother was also a musician.

Primarily known as an exceptional organist during his lifetime, Bach also understood how to build and repair the complex inner mechanisms of pipe organs, a feature that has been incorporated into the interactive doodle.

Bach’s reputation soared following the 19th century “Bach revival,” as the music world gained a new appreciation for his innovative use of four-part harmony, modulations of key, and mastery of counterpoint and fugue.
