I really do believe that a great composer is determined by a lot of factors. The one of most importance for me is the energy one. If the music I am listening to moves me in some other way, if it has the power to make me laugh, cry or wonder, if it brings life into my being or (i'd better say) reminds me that I'm alive.What else can I ask for? So, I guess all of us have our preferences determined from our very own personal responses to music. To me Bach is the greatest, sine I feel a whole cosmos developing from every single voice and again the magic of a oneness which comes only to breath because of the perfection which beats from each one of the voices taken alone. Inma.
