What he doesn't understand is that Bach is the Emacs of classical 
composers. :)

Apparently you have never been to the Netherlands at the time of 
Eastern. For some obscure reason there are hundreds of performances of 
his St Matthew Passion (and some John). Most with very good musician, 
some less quality and we also have the sing along Passions that are in a 
quality category of their own. Ok that obscure reason may be that it is 
absolutely fantastic music.
I also tend to play it most of the week before Eastern.

Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, almost everybody has heard "of" 
them. I couldn't tell you what any of them sound like though. (Or spell 
their names correctly, as you can see.)
