At 22 he married his cousin Maria, and they had seven children. By the time he was 32, he had composed much of his best music, including The Brandenburg Concertos.
After his first wife had died in 1720, Bach remarried and had thirteen more children. By the time Bach died in 1750, he had taught all his children to play musical instruments and several had already become wellknown musicians.
George Gershwin was born in New York in 1898. By the age of fourteen, he had taken piano lessons with five teachers and had learned to play better than all of them. While studying, he fell in love with classical and jazz music and began to compose music and write songs.
When Gershwin was fifteen, he had to leave school and worked in a music company for the family.
While he was working there,
he met many famous musicians.
George became the most famous American composer and songwriter of the 1920s and 1930s. By the time he was 38, he had written An American in Paris, which many people think is his best work for orchestra. He had also composed Shall We Dance. Having become rich and famous, he wrote Our Love Is Here to Stay in 1937. This was one of his best songs, but also one of his last songs. In the summer of 1937, while working in Hollywood, he became ill and died of cancer at the age of 39.
