1/5. Bach's first biographer, Johan Nikolaus
Forkel, said that the composer's music "is not merely agreeable, like other composers', but transports us to the regions of the ideal. It does not arrest our attention momentarily, but grips us the stronger the more often we listen to it, so that, after a thousand hearings, its treasures are still inexhaustible and yield fresh beauties to excite our wonder."
