Thank you so very much for your kind, heart-warming words.

Yes, Bach really is the beginning and the end of all music, as Max Reger (1873-1916) so famously said 🙂 Or at least to many people, including myself 🙂

The work of his that I would also love to hear one day is BWV 244 a (Klagt, Kinder, klagt es aller Welt) the cantata of mourning for Bach‘s late friend and employer, Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Köthen. But there have been attempts of reconstructing it, though I have not yet heard them.

Somehow, this music is fitting for my own situation, since an elderly aunt of mine has just passed on, and, a cousin of mine is dying of cancer, at the ripe old age of 37 😞 We are all praying for a miracle…

However, I would like to wish you, dear Savage Beast, and your dear ones a wonderful Christmas time and a Happy New Year! 🎄🍾
