Personality assessment

Karajan once said: "The first thing in the morning is to listen to Bach's music. It is like a clear spring flowing through my heart, which helps me correct my hearing." If you are a music lover, not listening to Bach's music is like missing the whole Baroque. ?

Bach's music is like a person, and the tone of Qingquan always expresses feelings implicitly. When you carefully analyze the music style, the feeling may have reached your heart before you react. Bach's music creation paved the way for later generations, just like philosophers or mathematicians.

French music critic Paul Long Toure said: "Bach's creative purpose is not for future generations, or even for Germany in his time. His ambition is not beyond the scope of his city or even his church. Every week he just works for the next Sunday, preparing a new work or modifying an old tune; After the performance, he put it back in the bookcase, never thinking of publishing it, and even kept it for his own use. There is no longer a masterpiece in the world whose conception and practice are so naive! "
