Great German composer (4)

I believe the answer is:

bach

(Other definitions for bach that I've seen before include "Welsh term of endearment" , "Brandenburg Concertos composer, d. 1750" , "German organist and composer, d. 1750" , "musical great" , "J. S. --, baroque composer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
