One uncle introduced him to the organ. Because of his incredible talent, he was awarded a scholarship to study at the prestigious school in Luneberg, St.

He wrote his music to order at the request of his employers and wrote whatever he was asked to. He wrote several works based on Lutheran Chorales. He was a phenomenal musician who was extremely talented on most instruments of that time period including the organ, harpsichord, viola, and violin.

Bach is known as one of the main contributors of the Baroque style of music, and one of the greatest composers of all time. His death in marked the end of the Baroque Period. This piece is written in Binary Form which means that there are two specific sections of the piece that are related and they repeat themselves. It is a polyphonic piece because each part and each instrument moves independently including the solo flute , violins 1 and 2 , viola, and basso continuo.

Bach's early career was as an organist and as an expert on the construction of the instrument. It seems probable that the first and fourth of the four orchestral suites or Ouvertures were written during this period.

It has been suggested that the second and third were written during Bach's final period of 27 years in Leipzig. While his official responsibilities there were with church music, he was involved too with the secular repertoire of the University Collegium Musicum, founded by Telemann. The two suites may well have been written for that ensemble and it has been suggested that the flute part of the second suite was designed for the French flautist Buffardin, who had met Bach's younger brother in Constantinople and was, in any case, employed in Dresden at the court of Augustus II, overlord of Leipzig.

The first Ouverture or Suite, in the key of C major, is scored for two oboes, bassoon, strings and continuo.
