I sometimes find it useful to remember : Bach listened to Vivaldi. Mozart and then Beethoven listened to Bach

Out of all of them, I find Mozart made the least amount of things that I listen to. But he made the Requiem mass which I rank above most music. It all happened in the span of about a hundred years.

Over the following century people played Beethoven on many instruments, on many drugs. If any of them was a drunk guitarist, believe me he created nightly every type of music that blacks take credit for. And there were many of that man all over the world trying to play Beethoven drunk on a guitar. Jazz, heavy metal, you name it. It existed long before the Civil War

Exactly! I have always been really into Bach despite not being musically talented myself.

Don't get me wrong, Handel wrote majestic music as well, and Mozart, Vivaldi, Wagner, Beethoven all had extraordinary pieces. But Bach created surreal magic in his music.

Never heard any Bach that I didn't like.
While I appreciate others' works, Bach's moves me at a deeper level.
Very hard to explain in words, it's an experience.

Some say it's because his music is mathematical and the universe is mathematical so the vibrations are harmonious with external and internal energies which moves us so.

I don't know, maybe, but all I know is he was a genius beyond par
