I was born on March 21, 1685 in Eisenach, Germany to Maria Elisabetha Lämmerhirt Bach and Johann Ambrosius Bach. I was the youngest of eight children and the most famous today, but my father, uncles, some cousins and several siblings were all musicians of some sort. I was taught harpsichord and violin by his father, who was the organist at St. George's Church, and a famous uncle, Johann Christoph Bach, taught young Johann Sebastian the organ.
I lost my parents at 10 years old, losing both of my parents in one year, and I moved in with his older brother who was the organist at St. Michael's Church in nearby Ohrdruf and studied under Johann Pachelbel.

Dearest Bach, you have influenced me in so many ways through your music that I do not know where to start! I want to thank you for taking care of my family and I when we visited you. I can memorize and play so many of your compositions and I even gave a 1 hour recital of your organ in the Thomaskirche! Did i mention that I am extremely fond of your fugues? They are so unique from many other music I have heard, and I have been studying your music as much as I can, I am determined to be as great a musician as you were. The way you show your faith through your music is a blessing, and God bless you and your music!

Guten tag! Is it truley you, the Johann Sebastian Bach? Words cannot describe my existential feelings as I am a loyal and dedicated follower of your genius. There is no music nor sound for that matter on earth that soothes my ears than that of your sweet melodies. I grew up admiring your music, and, during the early years of my life, was even taught harpsechord using your very own pieces. Your music was the talk of not only Vienna, but nearly all the royal courts in Europe. I wish you all the best and may god continue to bless your quill with talent.
