- throwanem 4y agoI'd remind you J. S. Bach exists, and ask if you want to think this one over.
- wildrhythms 4y agoWhat does this mean?
- throwanem 4y agoBach's oeuvre is practically inexhaustible and after a while gets to feel a bit samey in places. This led me to make a joke that, judging by a sibling comment of yours, has not landed well among Bach fans, who seem to have a history [1] of being annoyed by such badinage. Apparently there's something about his work that's seen [2] as uniquely susceptible to automation, and I suppose I can see where the irritation would come from. Doesn't bother me any, but then I've always preferred Beethoven anyway.

- BurningFrog 4y agoJ. S. Bach ceased existing in 1750.
- easyThrowaway 4y agoThe idea that Bach composed the Well tempered clavier and similar works merely in a mechanical process is basically a fairy tale, and it's kind obvious once you read the music sheets.
- throwanem 4y agoI might've been clearer I was making a joke, I suppose.
- easyThrowaway 4y agoOh. Sorry, I've heard that so many times with no hints of irony that it flew quite over my head.
- throwanem 4y agoNo harm done. Chalk it up to appreciating the music in near perfect ignorance of its contemporary social context - I had no idea that'd been a controversial point until I went looking for why something I'd thought a harmless joke had crossed people.
