Johann Bernard Bach: Ouverture in G minor for strings & B.C

[bxjam85]

This is great music and not a hint of romanticism.

@bxjam85 ?

@1banders I'm referring to the romanticist tradition in classical music.

@bxjam85 Indeed! Had he stumbled upon Romanticism 60 years before it began to develop as a musical paradigm in the early 19th century, it would be viewed as an extraordinarily prophetic composition that was over 60 years ahead of its time. Had he been Polish, this overture would have been at least 70 years ahead of its time in that culture. He could have been a prevailing formative influence on Chopin! Had he been a Spanish poet instead of a composer, he could have been imprisoned for his art!

Johann Bernhard Bach (born 23 May 1676 in Erfurt, died 11 June 1749 in Eisenach) was a German composer and musician of the family Bach, Johann Sebastian Bach's second cousin.

Wonderful work, too.
