Excellent point! Funny that we don't think of Bach that way. I do think that both are geniuses, though--and they make their own rules.

A masterpiece. How come the intellectual creator of 12 tone music could compose such sprightly beautiful music? Could it be that his contributions to modern music are misunderstood?
