I prefer 1721. Bach was rocking the charts. :)

Well, Handel was rocking the charts. Bach had a good reputation amongst fellow musicians but was stuck playing small Lutheran gigs for the most part. TG for Mendelssohn.

I say 80’s. That’s when Mozart was at his peak.

Yeah, yeah, Magnificat was all that, but Come On, Man!

Everyone knows it was the 40s, when Bach rocked the Goldberg Variations, then shattered the music scene w/ the Mass in B-minor. Meanwhile, Handel stunned the scene at Dublin with Messiah, then again in London, literally blowing up the scene, w/ Music for the Royal Fireworks.

The 40's were the greatest!

Bach, Georg Händel, Alessandro Scarlatti, Gerhard Tersteegen and Antonio Vivaldi were all making the scene--it was a rockin' good year.
