Johann Sebastian Bach (pronounced [joˈhan/ˈjoːhan zeˈbastjan ˈbax]) (31 March [O.S. 21 March] 1685 -- 28 July 1750) was a German composer and organist whose sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra, and solo instruments drew together the strands of the Baroque period and brought it to its ultimate maturity. Although he introduced no new forms, he enriched the prevailing German style with a robust contrapuntal technique, an unrivalled control of harmonic and motivic organisation in composition for diverse musical forces, and the adaptation of rhythms and textures from abroad, particularly Italy and France.

Revered for their intellectual depth and technical and artistic beauty, Bach's works include the Brandenburg concertos; the Goldberg Variations; the English Suites, French Suites, Partitas, and Well-Tempered Clavier; the Mass in B Minor; the St. Matthew Passion; the St. John Passion; The Musical Offering; The Art of Fugue; the Sonatas and Partitas for violin solo; the Cello Suites; more than 200 surviving cantatas; and a similar number of organ works, including the celebrated Toccata and Fugue in D Minor.

While Bach's fame as an organist was great during his lifetime, he was not particularly well-known as a composer. His adherence to Baroque forms and contrapuntal style was considered "old-fashioned" by his contemporaries, especially late in his career when the musical fashion tended towards Rococo and later Classical styles. A revival of interest and performances of his music began early in the 19th century, and he is now widely considered to be one of the greatest composers in the Western tradition.
The Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue (BWV 903), one of Bach's best known works, is an extravagant work of virtuosity and bold harmonic structure. It is an extraordinary piece - large, sprawling, emotional, and unique in its character compared to the rest of Bach's music. The title of the piece comes from either the fugue's chromatic melody, or from the startling modulations in the Fantasia. Either opinion is equally acceptable and debated.The fugue begins in a strict style but gradually loosens, revealing elements of the fantasy. It opens with a long and complex semitonal subject. The fugue has three sections with eleven entrances of the fugal theme. Every entry of the theme contains an element of uncertainty, yet each seems to be anticipated by the previous one. The first section stays mostly in d minor, while the second section modulates as the theme is introduced in distantly related keys. The third section again returns to d minor and ends with bravura passage work, scales, and "organistic" octave doubling in the bass, not unlike the closing of a toccata. Compared to the fugues of The Well-Tempered Clavier, this fugue is treated much more freely
