Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was a German composer of the Baroque era, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest composers in the Western canon. He carefully studied the work of his predecessors and contemporaries. He incorporated intricate counterpoint and harmonic innovations into a sophisticated style that represents the zenith of the Baroque tradition. While he wrote predominantly religious music - including several Passions and over 200 cantatas - he is best known today for his deeply moving instrumental music, including concertos, suites and sonatas, including many for strings - such as his Cello Suites and Sonatas and Partitas for Violin.

Bach's mastery of contrapuntal technique is evident in his Inventions and Sinfonias, BWV 772-801, a collection of thirty short musical exercises, originally for keyboard, in which the principles of inversion, imitation and canon writing are explored.

The Sinfonia No. 1 in C major, BWV 772, is the first of Bach's 15 three-part Inventions.

Its date of composition is around 1720 and its date of revision is 1723.
