Andrew's Bach sounds pretty good for someone who does it for fun. :-)

Rather famed for it. His proof, at least.

Oh, right.
I haven't seen it. All I know is that he's the guy who famously proved
that mathematics is actually hopeless and we should all give up now.
(But you have to admire the way everybody has ignored this and carried
on anyway.)

I had a look here:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ipzR9bhei_o
There seem to be more harmonies to it than what's on my sheet.

Counterpoint and harmony is something I have never been able to master.
This saddens me greatly.
But then, in general, I'm very good at copying other people's work, and
hopeless at composing my own. (I can never decide what notes would sound
interesting together...)

Well... no... ;-)
And Widor's Toccata *opens with* triple forte. It's a loud, bold, joyous
piece of music. It cannot be played quietly. ;-)

Hmm, yes, it is true...
OTOH, my mum could spent 4 weeks making endless recordings and never
produce a single one that compares to what I have on film, so I won't
feel too bad about having to take a couple of tries at it. 0;-)

You know who I really admire? Those people who program music boxes.
I mean, each note of a music box is just a tooth on a comb being
plucked. It sounds dull and uninteresting. To compensate, the designers
pin elaborate and complex harmonies and rhythems into the pinwheel...
Certainly I could never write anything nearly as impressive. :-(

It's basically of writing "this theorem cannot be proven." If it's true,
you can't prove it. If it's false, you've proven something false.

Personally, I happen to like many different styles of music.
I really liked the theme music to Pirates of the Carribean. But I also
really liked the techno remix I found on YouTube. I thought it was
really clever how somebody could take a piece of music in one style and
play it in a completely different style, yet have it still immediately
obvious that it's still the same piece. I like *both* performances, for
different reasons.
Similarly, a few years back I found a rock performance of [the simple
parts from] Bach's Toccata & Fugue. (Actually just the toccata, really.
And only the bits you can easily play on an electric guitar with a
drummer and some backing.) It's much simpler than what Bach wrote, but
it's still quite entertaining.
And then the other day I heard a bunch of hill billies playing 80s rock.
THAT was funny! :-D But in a weird way, it kinda works...
(In a similar theme, the heavy metal version of Mrs Robinson.)
So getting people to listen to a particular style or a particular
instrument is... meh. People will listen to whatever people want to
listen to. The point is that *I* know what *I* like to listen to. (And I
don't care if anybody else likes it!)
OTOH, my car stereo refuses to play The Beach Boys for some reason...
Maybe it's trying to tell me something?
