Sebastian Bach, proud father, husband and widower, is famously known as, “the Old Master”, a man with musical instincts that express humanity. Bach’s compositions, presiding of the highest art, show how hardworking determination pays off through idea of discipline. Voyager 2 carried Bach’s Partita No.3 for Solo Violin across its exploration mission to Pluto.
Key Takeaways:
- I am hardly alone in observing that in ways indescribable, this forward-moving stoicism exists in Bach’s music.
- Bach was no brooding, solitary genius, but a man buoyant in the tide of society
- What is so profoundly wonderful about Bach’s music? For one thing, it is of the people, maybe for its thorough grounding in humanity.
“Bach was no brooding, solitary genius, but a man buoyant in the tide of society.”
