Bach’s legacy
The students of baroque realize how much that era is owed for the good tones in music. Many changes happened during this era. Indeed one Johann Sebastian Bach as one of the composers from this era is said to have developed different instrumental playing techniques. He is said to have played four different instruments of the day. He helped add to the types of instruments that could be used in the arrangements of the music that was played back then.
Serious classical music students know that the works of that era spanned a fairly short period i.e. one hundred and fifty years. The richness and number of the musicians and composers of this era is what changed even the ornamentation of music to the present day lover of classical music. Bach Inventions also played a role both for keeping in tune with the times then. More importantly he helped the people appreciate some of the styles that had gone by.
The inclusion of certain forms of music into the then contemporary styles helped build appreciation for his different works like Bach Well-tempered clavier. The music lovers up to date are still in awe of the arrangements that went into certain pieces and getting the hang of it makes or breaks certain current renditions of his style of composition. The era is thus owed for the increase in size, diversity in range and complexity of instrumental performances thanks to the many artists of that era. They certain created curiosity for classical works.
