Johann Sebastian Bach 1685-1750
His father taught him to play violin and harpsichord. His uncles were all professional musicians, whose posts ranged from church organists and court chamber musicians to composers.
In 1723, Bach was appointed Cantor of Thomas School adjacent to St Thomas Church (Lutheran) in Leipzig as well as Director of Music in the principal churches in the town.
The Goldberg Variations (BWV 988), Published in 1741 is an aria with thirty variations and has a complex and unconventional structure: the variations build on the bass line of the aria, rather than its melody, and musical canons are interpolated according to a grand plan. There are nine canons within the 30 variations, one placed every three variations between variations 3 and 27. These variations move in order from canon at the unison to canon at the ninth. The first eight are in pairs (unison and octave, second and seventh, third and sixth, fourth and fifth). The ninth canon stands on its own due to compositional dissimilarities. Listen toThe ‘Aria‘

Thelonious Sphere Monk 1917- 82 was a Jazz Pianist and composer
Monk had a unique improvisational style and made numerous contributions to the standard jazz repertoire (including his classic works Round midnight" and "Blue Monk"). He is often regarded as a founder of bebop, although his playing style evolved away from the form. His compositions and improvisations are full of dissonant harmonies and angular melodic twists, and are impossible to separate from Monk's unorthodox approach to the piano, which combined a highly percussive attack with abrupt, dramatic use of silences and hesitations.
