Well, you look at Bach too narrow in my view. You can’t forgive him for being a composer and
you are a musician. As I said above, I
more interested nowadays in Bach music as a “background music” for a special ceremony.
Ironically some of his works contain a lot more than an embellished repetition
of 4 voices. The performance aspect is not relevant to me anymore. I do not specifically
advocate one performance over other, even though I do have preferences. If you
know Bach, then the fact the I chose 582 and not let way the chromatic fugue
should give you the idea where I am coming from. Do not get pissed that Bach
wrote music and you happened to know how to read or play it. Do not degrade Bach
to just being a very prolific composer. Some events he created were more significant
than just musicality. The event of making let say 582 plays in church or in
playback are just musical events. My point is that it might be more than just
musical event in the way I use audio nowadays. It is hard to explain, and I
have no knowing to me reference as most of it was “invented” by me. It is much easier
to “get” if you stop use words “music” and start to use the word “ceremony”. Some of the mechanisms Back used in his ceremonies
are more interesting than I’s only musical context. I like it when you write how you understand Bach
sound in context of your playback. Now, pretend that you are not a human who
can play music but let say a monkey or a dolphin, what would be difference? Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
