I believe that the legendary Toccata & Fugue in Dminor BWV 565 was considered unpleasantly daring and dramatic. After all, Bach was a young whippersnapper at the time.
I always understood that JS Bach was fairly well-liked. He made a living as a musician, unlike 99.99% of the people alive at the time. -Chuckk -- http://www.badmuthahubbard.com _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
