I can relate to you completely. I am deeply passionate about Classical Music, mostly Baroque. Bach is definitely my favorite Baroque Composer (along with Vivaldi). I enjoy his pieces very much, some of them being the -
1) Toccata and Fugue in D Minor (Disputed)
2) Air on the G String
3) Double Violin Concerto in D Minor
4) Sonata No.5 in F Minor
5) Mass in B Minor: Agnus Dei
In the world of great Classical Music, no one has produced such music that is so intellectually deep, technically demanding and so artistically beautiful as Bach. Definitely nothing wrong about admiring a deceased genius.
Bach's music is so fundamental to me. I'm also fascinated by mathematics, analytical statistics in particular. I see Bach's music almost as mathematics in sound. There are no special effects, no glissandos, no smoke or flashing lights, just pure tonal relationships arranged with a genius that defies the imagination.
Beethoven was clever in a different way because he played with themes or motifs which he would juxtapose in unexpected places even from one movement to another. He was imaginative in a larger context which wasn't as purely mathematical.
Mozart? Not the kind of guy you'd have a beer with, but possibly the greatest genius musically, although you'll get a lot of arguments for Bach.
Is it normal that I think Bach rocks?
