"And if we look at the works of JS Bach - a benevolent god to which all
musicians should offer a prayer to defend themselves against mediocrity - on each
page we discover things which we thought were born only yesterday, from
delightful arabesques to an overflowing of religious feeling greater than anything we
have since discovered. And in his works we will search in vain for anything
the least lacking in good taste"
- Claude Debussy
