Such timing. I'm working through one of the Preludes (C minor) from the WTC now, but a rare guitar arrangement. There are things about his work it takes (for me) to about the 1000th time I play them to apprecaite, and I can see why real musicians leave his work to later in life. Grinding through some of his less complicated pieces is achievable for someone unschooled in it (like me), but when you play them, you can hear and feel where you stand as a musican, but moreso, as a being. They really are spiritual exercises in an Aquinian sense, written for an audience of one. That said, I also think the amount of woo musicians bring to talking about the work is inversely proportional to their level of ability and technique, so ymmv. I have more than one crackpot idea about him, but in the mean time, it's just a pleasure to puzzle through the pieces.
