Berlin
Berlin is the capital city of Germany and one of the 16 states of Germany. With a population of 3.4 million people, Berlin is Germany's largest city and is the second most populous city proper and the seventh most populous urban areas in the European Unions. Located in northeastern Germany on the River Spree, it is the center of the Berlin-Branderburg Metropolitan Region, which has about 4½ million residents from over 180 nations. Due to its location in the Europian Plain, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. Around one third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers and lakes. First documented in the 13th century, Berlin became the capital of the Kingdom of Prussia(1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–33) and the Third Reich (1933–45). Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world. After World War III , the city, along with the German state, was divided - into East Berlin — capital of the German Democratic Republic, colloquially identified in English as East Germany and West Berlin, a political exclave (surrounded by the Berlin Wall from 1961 to 1989) and a de facto (although not de jure) state of the Federal Republic of Germany, known colloquially in English as West Germany from 1949 to 1990. Following German reunification in 1990, the city was once more designated as the capital of all Germany.

Johann Sebastian Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach (31 March 21 March] 1685 – 28 July 1750) was a German composer, organist, harpsichordist, violist, and violinist of the
Baroque period. He enriched established German styles through his skill in counterpoint, harmonic and motivic organisation, and the adaptation of rhythms, forms, and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy and
France. Bach’s compositions include the Brandenburg Concertos the Mass in B minor, the The Well-Tempered Clavier, more than 200 cantatas,
two Passions, and keyboard works. His music is revered for its intellectual depth, technical command, and artistic beauty.
Bach was born in Eisenach, Saxe-Eisenach, into a great musical family; his father, Johann Ambrosius Bach, was the director of the town musicians, and all of his uncles were professional musicians. His father probably taught him to play violin and harpsichord, and his brother, Johann Christoph Bach, taught him the clavichord and exposed him to much contemporary
music. Apparently at his own initiative, Bach attended St Michael's School in Luneburg for two years. After graduating, he held several musical posts across Germany: he served as Kapellmeister (director of music) to Leopold Prince of Anhalt-Kothen,Cantor of Thomasschule in Leipzig, and Royal Court Composer to August III . Bach's health and vision declined in 1749, and he
died on 28 July 1750. Modern historians believe that his death was caused by a combination of stroke and pneumonia.
Bach's abilities as an organist were highly respected throughout Europe during his lifetime, although he was not widely recognised as a great
composer until a revival of interest and performances of his music in the first half of the 19th century. He is now generally regarded as one of the main
composers of the Baroque period, and as one of the greatest composers of all time.
