J.S. Bach also taught teenagers for a living and had 7+ children in his household for an unbroken stretch of roughly three decades. If you have children and have ever taught teenagers, you know what I am talking about--IT IS EXHAUSTING! Every single day is exhausting! How Bach then had enough energy and mental capacity to become the "Mt. Everest of Classical Music" on top of just trying to make a living like a normal Joe Schmoe with a family in some provincial backwater is astoundingly impressive to me. He is not of this world. He is truly the first and only alien to live among us.

Did Bach wield a well-tempered cleaver?

I didn't realise how dangerous Bach was until I got my fingers permanetly in a twist while playing one of his keyboard fugues at too high a speed!

Making music (composing, improvising, or playing) is discovery. It's an exploration, a game, an adventure. But you can end up in dark places. My composition professor locked himself away to finish a commissioned piece, and the isolation and pressure ended in suicide. I still haven't finished the duet I was working on for my class, but also with the hope for us to play it together. That was 20 years ago. I played a little of my part, the other day. Still makes me sad. A duet for guitar and viola. "Melancholy Palindrome" was the title.

What a beautiful and heart-warming argument for disposing of the evil that is glamour. True passion comes from within, not without. Thank you for the great Q&A, and all hail BACH!

4:46 In Dutch we hve two different names for 'classical'. The word for classical music as a genre is 'klassieke muziek'. The name for the classical period within classical music is 'het classicisme'.

The mental health issue is a very real one, especially when trying to get a career going in composing. I spent several years in my 20's composing solo piano music (because I just love the sound of piano), many pieces in all, only to wonder if any of it was any good. I settled on the thought that I was really just writing it for myself and if anyone else liked it great. But that is not a career so I never perused it as a career only a hobby.

My dad got me to start playing through 371 Bach chorales to get more familiar with the language of harmony, and the most annoying thing is that he constantly breaks all of the rules! It's really interesting though :) also I appreciate the use of Jacob in this discussion

Insight from a percussionist/composer about planned movement: It is VERY important to think about set-up and how far a percussionist might need to run across a stage for an instrument change; we really appreciate it when it seems like the composer thought of us. ❤
