I had the same experience with Bach. As I get older, the Bach works
I appreciate increasingly are the solo works for cello, violin, and
organ along with the Art of The Fugue and the Musical Offering.
I also did not care for Mozart when I was young; I considered his
music effeminate. I had many dumb notions as a young person and
still retain a few of them.
