| Added by magataganm, 06 Jul 2016 Johann Sebastian Bach was better known as a virtuoso organist than as a composer in his day. His sacred music, organ and choral works, and other instrumental music had an enthusiasm and seeming freedom that concealed immense rigor. Bach's use of counterpoint was brilliant and innovative, and the immense complexities of his compositional style -- which often included religious and numerological symbols that seem to fit perfectly together in a profound puzzle of special codes -- still amaze musicians today. Many consider him the greatest composer of all time. As a young man, Bach developed a rather unique talent for writing long passages of pseudo recitative for the organ, trusting the acoustics of the building to 'fill out' the harmony the listener experiences, even though no more than a single note at any one time is being played. The organ wasn't the only instrument where he displayed this skill as with his Cello sonatas. His "Fantasia pro organo" (an unfinished work later designated BWV 573) is a short organ piece of only 12 complete bars.No other information about this work remains.
