"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, Royal Academy of the
Arts in Berlin
*letter to Goethe, 9 June 1827
