I'm sorry but this statement, although just a snippet of your posting,
made me sick to my stomach.  Bach verbally reduced to mere pianistic
exercise.......YUCK!!!!!!  Just like when the pianists would "warm up"
with BAch before a concert.....YUCK!!!!!!!  Bach is far and above that
status.......and in my mind...i sWAY FAR AND ABOVE the status of ANY
composer whose works would be played after a brisk Bachain warmup!

musical infidels.......David to the musical Phillistines.......perhaps..
loud-mouthed detractor to his own cause!)
