See here's the thing, friend, I never said that Bach's genius was by any means exclusive.

The word genius is thrown around so hastily in music, but Bach was just that... a musical genius, whose melodies are unparalleled in any era,

And yea, on a sidenote, Mozart did write some good melodies, but when it came to sustaining longer pieces, he just couldn't do it. Bach was built like a musical triathlete.

I won't point out your contradiction, as fooboo has done so for me (although I expect you stand by the statement in any case), but can you at least admit that this is your opinion (and perhaps the opinion of others) as opposed to some undeniable, proven fact?

For the record, I intend no denigration of Bach...he was indeed a genius, and his compositions have justifiably stood the test of time. I love his pieces. I simply feel that, as a composer and influencer of future generations, Mozart stands as his equal.
