"The poetry, the atmosphere, the intensity of expression, the beauty of the
preludes and fugues grip, overwhelm, and stimulate us. Let us not be afraid of
the supreme contrapuntal science of the fugues, nor be overawed by the stern
appearance and heavy wig of Father Bach. Let us gather around him, feel the
love, the noble goodness that flow from each one of his phrases and that
invigorate and bind us by ties strong and warm."

-Carl Friedrich Zelter (1758-1832) German composer
Letter to Goethe, 9 June 1827
