Why Bach was Steve Jobs' favourite composer

Johann Sebastian Bach, a 17th-century German composer, achieved success through his discipline and hard work. His music inspired Steve Jobs, who often listened to Bach's compositions, including the Goldberg Variations, when he needed to concentrate. Bach, born in 1685 in Eisenach, was a talented musician from a young age and went on to become an organist, composer, teacher, and music director.

Musicologists Christoph Wolff and John Eliot Gardiner describe Bach as a man of extraordinary discipline, whose creativity was rooted in his technical skill and constant study, and who believed that success came from hard work and dedication, not just talent.
