Bach, who lived from 1685 to 1750, is regarded as one of the most important composers in Western history, known for works such as the Brandenburg Concertos, Mass in B minor and The Well-Tempered Clavier.
Musk, known for sharing his views on music, science and philosophy on X, has previously expressed admiration for classical composers.
