About Bach
The concept of melody with harmonic accompaniment was the beginning of thinking about harmony and harmonic progressions as an important entity and not just the by-product of intersecting lines. Throughout his life, Bach seemed to be driven to systematically explore all the possibilities of a given style or genre. Here one can discover the elaborate use of musical figures employed to express text, which also pervade the purely instrumental music.

A stirring Bach revelation (Boston Globe)
Bach's music stands as a sign of stability and permanence, of art's ability to transcend conditions and human generations. So it's possible to forget sometimes that it's also steeped in fragility and weakness. Resolutely centered on the Christian experience, Bach's art takes up all the uncertainties and vulnerability of the human condition. Redemption ...

Beethoven.com Bulletin Board: Real Classical Music: Bach
posted 05-30-2005 11:42 AM quote: Originally posted by shostakovich: Hi Big. I'm sticking by my statement. Guys before Vivaldi are not heard REGULARLY by the GENERAL PUBLIC. I listen to radio a lot, and they aren't there. They are not at symphony concerts or piano recitals because they didn't write for orchestra or piano. I'm not knocking them or excluding them from the classical definition as understood by most people. Earlier music may be getting more popular, but "EXTREMELY POPULAR" is a stretch at least outside of your academic environment. Can we find some way to blame our disagreement on Bush?

Joseph Martin Kraus
on June 20, 1756. He is sometimes referred to as the Swedish Mozart. He started his education in Buchen am Odenwald, later at the Jesuit Gymnasium and Music Seminar at Mannheim, then proceeded to study law in Mainz, Erfurt, where he was taught by Peter Weimar and C.P.E. Bach, and Göttingen, where he was part of the writer's group Göttingen Hainbund and wrote a book of poetry, Versuch von Schäfersgedichte, a tragedy, Tolon, as well as music, including the oratorios Die Geburt Jesu and Der Tod Jesu, and a musical treatise. At the Swedish Court In 1778 Kraus moved to Stockholm, Sweden, on the suggestion of his friend Carl Stridsberg. His financial situation there was bad at first. His opera Azire was rejected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Music, but

Andrés Segovia
few years later he held his first professional concert in Madrid, playing transcriptions for guitar by Francisco Tàrrega and some he had developed on his own from Bach. Working together with luthiers, he helped in creating the "modern" classical guitar, introducing nylon strings which could produce louder tones. After a tour in America in 1928, he soon became famous as "the guitar player", and composers like Heitor Villa-Lobos started writing for him (and for guitar). Segovia's figure is fundamental for the story of classical guitar, since he brought this instrument to popularity even in classical music, where it had previously been ignored as "too popular". The lack of a sufficient repertoire of works for guitar was filled with the many transcriptions he himself made and played, and he gave life to
