Bach started his professional music career at the age of 18, first as a violinist in Weimar Palace and then as an organist in Arnstadt. After work, he still analyzes a large number of composers' works by hand and conducts experiments in his own creation. He walked 200 miles to Liubaike to listen to Baxter Hood's concert, so he took more than three months off and was tried by the church. In addition to being untrue, the church also accused him of adding "grotesque variations" and "heretical sounds" to the chant, saying that he was too addicted to playing the organ for "too long", but after being criticized, he played it "too short" and accused him of "playing the piano with a strange girl in the church for fun". The girl soon became Bach's wife. At this time, his organ playing skills have reached a high level. For example, he can play fugue melody with his feet on the bass pedal, and his proficiency is better than that of many musicians playing with their fingers. From 1708 to 17 17, Bach was an organist and the music director of the Duke's Church in Weimar Palace. During this period, he not only continued to absorb and draw lessons from the excellent traditions of senior German organists and composers, but also devoted himself to studying the Italian violin art, adapting or creating his own works with the music of Vivaldi, corelli and others, and studying and creating French Coubertin's classical piano music. His creation also tends to be mature, and he has written some masterpieces of organ.
Bach was angry at the duke's refusal to be promoted. He resigned. The authorities arrested him for nearly 1 month, saying that he was "disobedient and asked to leave". 17 17~ 1723, Bach is the music director in Kuideng Palace. This is the best time for him to receive treatment. Here, he can write other things besides church music and organ works. Because his master was a Protestant, Bach wrote simple hymns for the church and used them to create a large number of other church music works. He created a large number of suites, concertos, sonatas and keyboard music, both religious and secular, for teaching or court entertainment. During this period, his wife died, and in 172 1, he married another woman with singing ability. Bach's two wives, * * *, gave birth to 20 children, only half of them survived, and four of them became the best of the next generation of German composers.

From 1723 to 1750, Bach was the music director of St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, which was a very important position at that time and was responsible for the music affairs of four churches in the city. During his 27 years in Leipzig, he had to deal with the arduous church work that we can't imagine today, but he also served as the director of a student music group in the university and held concerts in cafes every Friday night. I also often held organ performances and was often hired to judge and guide the manufacture of organ. To his embarrassment, he is still tired of begging for humble schools and putting up with bureaucracy and bad habits of municipal committees and officials. It is in this situation that Bach created a surprising number of works during his stay in Leipzig, including many representative works.
