- When Bach tried to quit his job working for a duke, the duke put him in jail for a month. Bach continued to write music while he was in jail. He wrote 46 pieces of music before he was released.
- Bach wrote most of his music to be performed only once, in church services, and then thrown out. As a result, very little of his music was published during his lifetime. Because of this, Bach composed more music than most composers.
