If Philip Ewell was an actual musician, he'd embrace Bach and any other such composer, recognizing their music of the time and how it influenced musicians through today.
That Nutty “Professor” is a racist fool embracing his self imposed ignorance. Music knows no nationality. We all learn from and are influenced by each other. To refuse learning is to shrink in the scope of one’s knowledge. Most of what I know of JS Bach and his sons, I love.
*Take one of the basics. A piece he wrote to teach his students about the ‘voices’ of the piano;
Prelude in C Major for Piano.
Thats a lovely piece. Not complicated, but extremely flexible. One that could work in its classical form, or as jazz. Very easily. Listen to it, and you will see what I mean.
Louis Armstrong’s quote is still valid today.
“There are only two types of music, good and bad.”
Cultural to difficult for some and hated by some but it’s a good place to be.
Money not required to be there.
Relax and enjoy the music.
