Agree with you. Mendelssohn and Dvorak are my favorites, though Bach’s cello suites are pretty good.

  Yay, someone who is open to the idea! So yes, I think Dvorak is a good counterargument to Bach. I personally feel that for anyone to appreciate Bach, in 2019, you need to overlay some form of intellectualism before you can appreciate Bach. And that is something I don't like; music should grab your from the first second, if possible. I would concede that I would appreciate Bach better if there was less public emphasis on his music. Someone like Grieg is to me fresh because it is unfamiliar. In that sense I would have had a much more open approach to Bach if the first time I heard his music had been through exploration, rather than publicity.
