So why have you joined the Bach group?
Here are a few quotes about Bach that I recall:
Now there is music from which a man can learn something
- Mozart
Not brook but ocean
- Beethoven, Bach is German for brook
The father of harmony
- Beethoven
Bach is the father and we are the children
- Beethoven, unconfirmed, a friend gave me this quote in university but I haven't seen it anywhere else
Since the best men are not available mediocre ones must be chosen
- Leipzig town council when choosing a new cantor
Reasons why I'm here: I enjoy listening to Bach's music, I'm interested in finding out about the man behind the music, I try to play a little Bach on the piano (and previously on the guitar).

(San Francisco)Brook...exactly how I feel about the first prelude in Well-Tempered Clavier. A seemingly tranquil stream but if you sit by it long enough, you'll see the breadth of the ocean contained within its sparkles and a cascade going all the way up to heaven.
