This kind of statement keeps getting made with amazing frequency.  What
exactly makes you think that someone who writes music at a quality level
similar to Bach will be ignored simply because he/she sounds like Bach?
Let's leave aside the Mozart sonatas, but I for one (and I'm sure there
are many, many others) will pay good money to hear more Bach-level music
regardless of who/when wrote it.  So, to all these fellows out there,
here is your chance to get rich.  Let's hear the next Art of Fugue, for
starters.
