Acclaimed only long after his death, Bach mastered many musical talents: singer, violinist, organist, harpsichordist, and composer. His musical style is based on northern German contrapuntal with a majority of his later work having influence from an Italian styling. Bach?s appointments include organist at the ducal court at Weimar, kapellmeister at the princely court of Kothen and cantor at St. Thomas in Leipzig. He is the inventor of the harpsichord concerto genre and holds the title as the greatest composer of the Baroque era.
