Mozart is overrated here on /mu/. The whole "mozart is underrated" meme proves my point

Bach wasn't even the best drummer in The Beatles

Bach is not overrated; he was a genius at what he did. His work greatly influenced music's history, and was essential to the transformation between Renaissance and Baroque. Without Bach, the achievements of Mozart, Beethoven, and others would not have been nearly as prolific.
That said, his works are distant enough from the current state of music that, in my opinion, they don't really warrant a large place in today's music scene.
tl;dr: Bach is essential for people who want to understand music and its history as a whole, but inconsequential for people who only care about them s1ck b3atz

The trouble is he takes too much attention from the other baroque dudes. People otherwise knowledgeable about art music just know him and Handel. Is a focus on somebody's output overating if he really is the best part of the baroque era? Hard to tell. There's a similar problem with mozart and beethoven. Thank god the romantic era isn't dominated by a couple standouts.

So, why exactly do you guys listen to this,---autist?
probably not pic related
>>60725495
I'd totally listen to music writen by an amalgation of Nietzsche, Sartre, Protagoras, and ... Newton?
>>60724869
>and was essential to the transformation between Renaissance and Baroque
I'm not falling for this.
>Without Bach, the achievements of Mozart, Beethoven, and others would not have been nearly as prolific.
Uwotb8? I suppose you could make a fair case for the influence of Bach on the harmonic texture of late Beethoven, though even then it's highly arguable whether this had any bearing on his prolificity (seeing as B was experimenting with basically any creative avenue he could conceive pave for himself by that point).
Mozart, if anything, took more from J.C. than J.S.

Something vaguely related.

Are you one of the plebs who got BTFO'd about Mozart in the last /classical/ thread?

Redpill me on Mozart

thanks for this family
No he isn't. Bach had an unprecedented mastery over music. His understanding of counterpoint is second to none. I particularly like Back organ pieces, because the music is always so diverse even though his writing follows strict rules.
>>60727291
He's underrated and still alive.

>JC wasn't himself influence by JS
you goofed

>he literally invented music
Bach had 4 trillion times the talent of almost all the diarrhea-tier musicians I see people fangirl about on /mu/. So If you're speaking in terms of the /mu/ community then he's underrated.
>>60725495
Because his music sounds fucking good. Simple really. The fact that he has so much technically stuff going on on top of this is only a bonus, for those wanting to study how the music works.
>>60727274
Its a matter of taste. Some people love Mozart, some dont. I personally see classical period as pretty stale. Haydn and Beethoven being the exceptions.
>>60727695
He hardly was.
>>60724869
none of that's right. bach was late baroqe and he had essentially no influence until the 1800s.
this does not change the fact that he is the single greatest composer in known history.
Not at all. Bach is one of music's finest innovators and deserves the love he gets.
>>60727645
No I'm not.
>>60729850
oh god that made lol
