The father of music

J. S. Bach is commonly known as the "Father of Music", but to me his unfathomable achievements deserve far beyond this. Bach acquired his compositional skills, simply unmatched by any other composer, primarily through diligent self-study, intense copying, studying, and transcibing works of his contemporaries.  And the most intriguing part is that somehow he managed to come up with the most complex contrapuntal music every written, and not to mention his vast output for all genres except for operas. Also, considering how there wasn't much machineries and absolutely zero technologies during his lifetime. His achievements are beyond monumental!
