Why did Bach seem ordinary when compared to other famous musicians/composers at his time?

Answer with Explanation:

Johann Sebastian Bach was born from a famous musical family. His father was a musician and many of his relatives (uncles) were musicians as well.

Unlike other famous musicians or composers of his time (Baroque period), Bach seemed ordinary because he was even regarded stubborn. There was one time when he left for one month, which angered his employers. They complained about his absence, but actually he just wanted to devote his time to playing keyboard music. For one time, he was also jailed before falling out of favor as a composer in Weimar. Although he is known for his frequent absences, he did well regarding his education. These flaws of his were very normal and it made him approachable. Unlike other composers, he was first known as an organist.

Nowadays, he is celebrated as one of the world's greatest composers.

Thus, this explains the answer.
