I probably am Rick, well I usually am anyway, the annoying thing is that there is no way of proving it, I believe that Bach was a greater composer than what I am, but alas I can't think of any way of making certain.

I think sloppy suits music composed after Bach but not before. Apart from Gould and Tureck some of my favourite Bach is direct midi output, more often than not the performer and their interpretation just get in the way, music written after Bach is so bereft of ideas that you need a "performance" from the player just to cover up the vacuum at the heart of the music.
Boy, do I think you're wrong.
