If JS Bach was alive today, what would be his fav of modern music?
maybe death grips
Skrillex
dragonforce
Contrapuntal, keyboard centric jazz.
Unsure how far his harmonic tastes would go. Maybe he would like Marc Copland.
Bill Evans

damn...
Metal since artistically and technically speaking it's the most complex genre, quite possibly he would have loved Fleshgod Apocalypse

The first movement of Bartok's Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta is an atonal fugue, so I think Bach would appreciate it.
Shostakovich's fugues too perhaps.
Not sure what he would make of academic art music in this day and age. He would probably hate it. That said, there's a Ferneyhough piece in strict canon so I'm sure he would be interested to see some of the scores.
He love intensely polyphonic, chromatic music with constant seamless modulation, so pretty much all popular music is out (all bands, producers, singer-songwriters, etc) I have a feeling he would enjoy a lot of 20th century songs or opera like Strauss' 4 last songs, perhaps even Doctor Atomic. Some of Bach's bass lines have a minimalist feel, and I think the combination of rhythmic variation and the traditional tonality and lyricism in Doctor Atomic would appeal to him.
Experimental improvised music. Considering he's German

>artistically and technically speaking it's the most complex genre,
Metal songwriters dont usually know music theory, so how are they supposed to make the most complex music? simply by "experimenting" or "playing whatever feels good" thats not complexity, nor does it produce quality music. Look up Brian Ferneyhough if you want to see complex music.

absolutely subjective
>>64123739
>>64126091
>absolutely subjective
not if you know anything about music
Economy of material is objective. Educated people usually come to a consensus on whether something is quality. They say "this piece is high or low quality due to X, Y and Z" they dont say "we just don't know!"
If educated people are divided on whether something is quality or not, like cage's 4'33" or stockhausen's helicopter string quartet. Thats when you can start to ask questions about subjective vs. objective, but not before.
fyi when I say educated people I'm mostly talking about those with masters degrees in music
Beethoven
>>64123739
>not assuming he would have just killed himself
Wait... do you mean still alive, in that he was still born in the 17th century? Because if that's what you mean, yeah he would have backflipped off a tall building by now.
>>64126998
well imagine he fell asleep instead of dying, and theb he woke up a few years ago
and has an internet connection
Would he like jazz?
Probably Christian Rock since the faggots first goal in making music was to serve God
>>64128070
Well...now that I think about it, after he got over the nerve-shattering mindfuck, he'd probably be very interested to hear works by composers who cite him as a major influence (which is pretty much all of them).
Swans

He was really passionate about music, reading score during the night when he was a child. walked hours long to go to concerts.
Very good organ player
Love to improvise
Huge knowledge of music of his time, and music theory
Very catholic and academic
Today we have 1000 times more music styles than 300 years ago. I guess he would be into a lot of different styles and have multiple bands and projects of differents kind
He would probably love classical tonal music, jazz for improvisation, be interested in metal.
He would not revolutionate styles, but push them to their heights
He would not be interested into stardom and pop icones and everything around the music business. He would probably accept it and deal with it because he has to, to do music
Old people are usually pretty stubborn, so he would probably like contemporary classical music. I feel like he would also like some types of structured jazz and electronic minimalism.
>>64129255
> Contemporary classical music
You mean atonal music ?
>>64123739
My old friend who dislikes Bach said that if he lived today he would make techno
You're all idiots. He would write contemporary classical. He didn't write fucking parlor songs.
>>64129361
Atonal mostly died with Boulez. Although atonal still greatly influences current classical it is only a small part of it.
If he were alive today he'd probably be an engineer.

I love this meme
After getting a taste of today's music?
He would become a huge fan of John Cage and listen to 4′33″ all day.
