Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21, 1685, in Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany, into a large and distinguished family of professional musicians. His father, named Johann Ambrosius Bach, was a violinist and trumpeter, employed by the city of Eisenach. His uncles were church organists, court musicians and composers. His mother and father died before Bach was 10. As an orphan, he moved in with his eldest brother, J. C. Bach, an organist and composer, under whose tutelage Bach studied organ music as well as the construction and maintenance of the organ.
Education: At the age of 14, Bach received a scholarship and walked on foot 300 kilometers to the famous St. Michael's school in Luneburg, near Hamburg. There he lived and studied for 2 years from 1699-1701. It was there that he sang a Capella at the boys chorale. Bach's studies included organ, harpsichord, and singing. In addition he took the academic studies in theology, history and geography, and lessons of Latin, Italian, and French. Besides his studies of music by the local Nothern German composers, Bach had important exposure to the music of composers from other European nations; such as the French composers Jean-Baptiste Lully, Marais, and Marchand, the South German composers Johann Pachelbel and Froberger, and the Italians Arcangelo Corelli and Antonio Vivaldi.
Personality and character: Bach was 17 when he made a 4-month pilgrimage, walking on foot about 400 kilometers from Arnstadt to the Northern city of Lubeck. There he studied with 'Dietrich Buxtehude' and became so involved that he overstayed his leave by three months. Buxtehude being probably the best organist of his time became the living link between the founder of Baroque music Heinrich Schütz and the biggest Baroque genius, Bach. Back in Arnstadt, Bach wrote 'Toccata and Fugue in D Minor' (1702), his first masterpiece; which stemmed from his bold organ improvisations. At that time he was in love with his second cousin Maria Barbara; whom he was taking upstairs to the church organ, where her presence was inspirational for his creativity. Bach was punished for the violation of the restrictions on women's presence in the church and he was fired. However, he eventually married Maria Barbara.
Cross-cultural studies: Bach studied the orchestral music of Antonio Vivaldi and gained insight into his compositional language by arranging Vivaldi's concertos for organ. Six French suites were written for keyboard; each suite opens with 'Allemande' and consists of several pieces, including 'Courante', 'Sarabande', 'Menuet', 'Gavotte', 'Air', 'Anglaise', 'Polonaise', 'Bourree', and 'Gigue'. As suggested by their titles, the pieces were representing songs and dances from various cultures. From the music of the Italians Antonio Vivaldi, Arcangelo Corelli, and 'Giuseppe Torelli'; Bach adopted dramatic introductions and endings as well as vivacious rhythmical dynamism and elaborate harmonization. Bach also performed the music of English, French, and Italian composers; motets of the Venetian school, and incorporated their rhythmical patterns and textural structures in the development of his own style.
Teaching: Bach selected and instructed musicians for orchestras and choirs in Weimar and Leipzig. His work as a Cantor included teaching instrumental and vocal lessons to the church musicians and later to the musicians of the court orchestra. Bach was also a teacher of his own children and of his second wife. In 1730, Bach presented his second wife with a musical notebook for studies, known as the 'Notebook of Anna Magdalena Bach'. Compositions in the notebook were written in a form of minuete, polonaise, gavotte, march, rondeau, chorale, sonata, prelude, song, and aria; written mainly by Bach, as well as by his sons 'Carl Philip Emanuel Bach', Johann Christoph Bach, and composers 'Francois Couperin', Georg Bohm, and others.
Family: Bach married his second cousin, named Maria Barbara, who was the inspirational force for his early compositions. They had seven children, 4 of whom survived to adulthood. W. F. Bach, J. C. Bach, and C. P. E. Bach became composers. Maria Barbara died in 1720. On December 3, 1721, Bach married Anna Magdalena (bee Wilcke), a talented soprano, who was 17 years his junior. They had thirteen children. Bach fathered a total of 20 children with his two wives. His sons 'Friedemann Bach', Johann Christoph Bach, and 'Carl Philip Emanuel Bach' became important composers in the Rococo style. The descendants of Bach are living in many countries across the world.
Social activity: Bach replaced his friend Georg Philipp Telemann as the director of the popular orchestra known as Collegium Musicum, which he led from 1729-1750. It was a private secular music society that gave concert performances twice a week at the Zimmerman's Coffeehouse near the Leipzig market square. Bach's exposure to such a secular public environment inspired him to compose numerous purely entertainment pieces for solo keyboard and several violin and harpsichord concertos.
Politics: Being the undisputed musical genius, Bach still suffered from ugly political machinations. Although the Leipzig Council had enough money, they never honored the promised salary of 1000 talers a year; promised to Bach by the Mayor of Leipzig, Gottlieb Lange, at the hiring interview. Bach worked diligently, in spite of being underpaid for 27 years until his death. On top of that local political factions in the Leipzig Council manipulated Bach's educational work as well as his compositions and public performances. They were pressuring him as the Cantor and Composer and interfering his creative efforts by imposing restrictions on his performances because of their ugly political games. Bach prevailed as he composed and played his "Mass in B Minor" to the monarch of Saxony and was appointed the Royal Court Composer of Saxony.
King Frederick the Great invited Bach to Potsdam in 1747. There the king played his own theme for Bach and challenged the composer to improvise on it. Bach used the 'royal theme' and improvised a three-part fugue on the king's piano. Later Bach upgraded the king's theme to a more sophisticated melody, and composed an array of pieces based on the improved 'royal theme', which he titled "Musical Offering" and later presented this composition to the king.
Legacy: Bach wrote over eleven hundred music compositions in all genres. In Leipzig alone he wrote a cantata for every Sunday and feast day of the year, of which 224 cantatas survive. Some of his compositions were written on the same theme at different times in his life, like choral cantatas and organ works on similar themes with significantly reworked arrangements. The complete list of Bach's works, BWV, has 1127 compositions for voice, organ, harpsichord, violin, cello, flute, chamber music for small ensembles, orchestral music, concertos for violin and orchestra, and for keyboard and orchestra. His music became the essential part of the education for every musician. Bach influenced such great composers as Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Liszt, Frédéric Chopin, Felix Mendelssohn, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Sergei Prokofiev and many other prominent musicians.
Bach is by far the most performed and recorded composer in history. His 'Das Wohltemperierte Clavier' (The well-tempered keyboard, or The well-tuned piano, in modern terminology) is the definitive work for all students as well as concert musicians. Bach's 'Orgebuchlein' (The little organ book) is a staple in the repertoire of organists and pianists, and some pieces from it were arranged for ensembles. Bach's many chorales, especially the "Mass in B Minor" are considered the best works in the genre. His last work 'The Art of Fugue' is best known for it's acclaimed performance by Glenn Gould. Bach's music was used in hundreds of films, thousands of stage productions, and continues being played all over the world.
The definitive biography of J. S. Bach was written by the Nobel Prize Laureate Albert Schweitzer.- Actor

Regarded as one of the foremost exponents of cinematic expressionism in the 1920's, Fritz Arno Wagner was trained at the Ecole de Beaux Arts in Paris and began in the film industry working for Pathé Freres in 1910. Within just two years, he was promoted to head Pathé's offices in Vienna, and, subsequently, in Berlin. He briefly worked out of New York in 1913, reporting for Pathé Weekly, then returned to Germany for wartime service in the cavalry. After being invalided out, he progressed from still photographer to 2nd Cameraman. By 1919, he had advanced to full director of photography.
Wagner was noted for his moody, atmospheric lighting. He did outstanding work for the directors F.W. Murnau and Georg Wilhelm Pabst, best exemplified by his chilling, eerily-lit gothic masterpiece Nosferatu (1922), with its shadows and distorted images (the jerky, unsettlingly grotesque movements of Count Orlock -- as played by Max Schreck -- have undoubtedly served to inspire more recent examples of the genre, such as The Ring (2002)). Wagner photographed Arthur Robison's hallucinatory thriller of obsessive jealousy, Warning Shadows (1923), in a similar vein, using mirrors and light effects to convey delusions and subconscious desires. Wagner's career remained prolific during the 1930's. He worked on many more prestige films (to name but a few: Pabst's Westfront 1918 (1930), M (1931), The Testament of Dr. Mabuse (1933), Amphitryon (1935), Two Merry Adventurers (1937)), but the quality of his output began to decline by the mid-1930's under the artistic strictures imposed during the Nazi regime. Post-war, he directed the newsreel "Welt im Bild" and largely confined himself to work as cinematographer on mainstream popular entertainments for DEFA. At age 63, Wagner died as the result of falling from a camera truck.- Director

After school, Frank Beyer studied theater studies. He started his career with an internship at the theater and as a stage dramaturge. He later attended the Film School in Prague (FAMU). While still a student, he became Kurt Maetzig's assistant and accompanied films such as "Castles and Cats" (1957). With his graduation film "Two Mothers" from 1957, based on Berthold Brecht's "The Caucasian Chalk Circle", he also made his directorial debut. Beyer made anti-fascist films such as "Naked Among Wolves" from 1963 and "Jakob the Liar" from 1974. But he also worked on film comedies.
With the genre piece "Karbid und Sauerampfer" from 1963, he made his breakthrough as a celebrated director of comedies. Frank Beyer became the most important filmmaker in the GDR alongside Gerhard Klein, Joachim Kunert and Konrad Wolf, but his works also caused political controversy. His work "Trace of the Stones" premiered in 1966, but was removed from the cinema program after three days - due to anti-socialist content. The film with Manfred Krug was not shown in cinemas again until 1989. The director repeatedly challenged the ideas of those responsible for GDR culture.
This was followed by his expulsion from the state film production company DEFA. Beyer was then hired for the theater in Dresden, but he was constantly exposed to obstacles from the state. In 1980 he received permission to make films in the Federal Republic of Germany. The showing of his 1977 film "The Hideaway" was initially banned in the GDR because the main actor, Manfred Krug, had fled to West Germany. The film was only shown to the public a year later. In 1983, Beyer's film "The Stay" was not shown at the Berlinale due to Polish protests: a German SS man is innocently accused of murder while in Polish captivity.
Beyer's late film works dealt with socially critical and political themes. This is how the title "End of Innocence" came about in 1991, which is about the Germans and the atomic bomb based on a template by Wolfgang Menge. "She and He" followed in 1992, about a marital crisis. In 1995 "Nikolaikirche", a film about a family during the time of reunification, was made. Two years later, Beyer remade Carl Zuckmayer's "The Captain of Köpenick" with Harald Juhnke. The director delivered autobiographical information about Manfred Krug with the film title "Abgehaut". Other important film titles include "Königskinder" (1962), "The Seven Affairs of Dona Juanita" (1973), "The Second Skin" (1981), "Bockshorn" (1983) and "The Big Feast" from 1992.- Actor
