1. Yeah baby that Adagio sucks!

n/t :crazy:

[curse10]

2. LMAO

Fuck Bach and all his sons!

[TXlib]

16. Don't you mean:

"Fuch Bach"?

[Burma Jones]

3. You can dance to Brandenberg #2

But you look like a jackass while you're doing it.

[Blue-Jay]

4. Makes no difference to me

I look like a jackass no matter what I dance to.

[ohiosmith]

5. No shit. I ruined my velor bell bottoms doing the splits to that tune.

[Fovea]

6. Yah

Give me a good bit of Legeti's
Requiem, or a bit of the Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima anyday.
It makes me twist again, like I did last April 21st.

I like to waltz to Holst's 'Mars' from the Planets as well.

7. Actually I'm quite fond of Bach

I especially love his "St Matthew's Passion" a much more compelling experience spiritually than watching Gibson's movie.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

8. Whoa!!!! Hold on now!! Mathias Mass in G is one of the finest ones EVER!!!

The rest of his stuff really sucks, tho!

9. It's surprising what you can dance to

As a classical pianist one of the things a lot of us do when learning a piece is dance to it. You always sing through a piece but a cool thing to do, particularly with baroque music, is dance to it. If you are learning a Scarlatti piece, dancing is an absolute MUST to get the feel of the rhythm and that unique Scarlatti jauntiness. I usually dance to Bach pieces too and almost always discover something very interesting that completely changes the way I approach the piece.

Now I can't dance worth a darn, so this all goes on behind closed doors with the curtains drawn tight. A secret videotape would make a frightening blackmail weapon.

10. I do the Mashed Potato to the Moonlight SonatO!

[JVS]

11. You need to listen to "Wachet auf ruft uns die Stimme"

arranged for brass quintet. Until you've heard that you don't even have a glimpse into his musical brilliance. ;-)

[ohiosmith]

12. But does it rock dude?

[JVS]

17. yes

[Redleg]

20. I have the regular cantata version of that piece- it is sublime.

I think I will listen to it when I get home!

[LynneSin]

13. yes, but it's great movie for really really great sex

(hopes she doesn't get scolded for turning this into a sex thread)

[Canuckistanian]

14. Ya, Bach sucks. Handel RULZ!

But The St Matthew Passion is da bomb, dude.

[Sequoia]

15. It was composed for thinking

and contemplating the universe. If you want dance tunes try Chubby Checkers. Bach rules!

[pagerbear]

18. How can you joke about Bach?

I'm deeply offended you would take B**h's name in vain! B**h is G*D!!!!!!!!

[Redleg]

19. You must be referring to Barbara Bach not Johann Sebastian...

...yaaaaa.

[ohiosmith]

21. Johann Sebastian? Is he the shampoo guy?
