Someone has asked me which music I listen to while I work. I’ve answered him that these days I was listening to Bach’s Das Wohltemperierte Klavier. He has bought it and played it. And he tells me he has been bored to death. I understand. As a young man I had to study in detail Bach’s 48 preludes and fugues at the piano, and they stuck to my soul for life. On the other hand, it they are listened to one after another without preparation, they annoy. That doesn’t make me better than anyone. Bach just fell to my lot and shaped me. Others are shaped by other melodies I don’t understand. So, my taste may not be yours. Without either of us being better than the other.

By the way, my opinion may not necessarily be yours. What goes for me may not go for you. You may not like Bach. Do not buy it.
