I can't help but notice that in every subject I've looked at, the higher
the grade, the more Bach pieces there are on the syllabus.
Even for singing. I didn't know Bach *wrote* anything suitable! >_<

What can I say? I like organ music, and that's the only reason I've ever
heard of Bach. Before I started looking at organ music, I'd never heard
of him.
But then, before I started looking at organ music, I *was* only 8 years
old. :-P

I'm sure you've never heard of the likes of Mozart, Chopin, Liszt,
Rachmaninoff and others too. They never did anything for organ (not
sure about Mozart). Bach was far more prolific than most. :)

Mozart did do some organ stuff, and Lizst actually wrote some rather
large-scale and very inventive organ pieces. Still not nearly so many
as Bach of course.

Ah, yes, in his older days. Still, are we talking about the same Liszt? ;)

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.

Ok, then there is some hope.

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.)

Dunno, but I think he was related to the composer Goldberg who wrote
that famous set of variations :)

The fact that until a year or two ago I'd never left the UK seems kind
of conclusive. ;-)

I knew that, and I think you blogged or otherwise notified us of your
whereabouts. So I would be quite sure you had not visited here. Then
again not all British that have been to the Netherlands can remember that.
Of course it was meant as a tourist tip more than as a statement of a fact.
