I'm not big on any of the PSM composers but even I have to admit Bach performed by the expert hands of Wendy Carlos can be quite good, in spite of the composer's disgusting anti-Semitism. Wendy is also a champion for trans rights, which is huge in my book—did you know she fought against the vile transphobic rhetoric of Momus in court and won? It's just a shame she doesn't seem to be recording anymore... I'd love to hear her do a Switched-On Women and Non-Binary Composers of Color album

I suppose the question you have to ask is will the future king of israel revive js bach or let him pass into hell. I believe JS Bach has a place in the world to come. That’s just my belief.

As for wendy her music is great. But she’s a bit trigger happy with her lawyers shutting down vids on youtube where people play classical music on their synth. I hate that.

The fact is pretty much all the non-Jewish PSM composers were anti-Semitic. The St. John Passion contains some vile tropes, to give one well-known example from Bach's oeuvre.

B minor mass, Goldberg variations, partitas (both piano and violin), well tempered clavier 1 and 2, st Matthew passion and BWV 639. That last one had a nice synth rendition from the Solaris soundtrack. Bach is incredible. What's PSM?

chopin is much more gifted than back. I didn't research either but I suspect bach is like a rich elitist who plays for royalty and is highly educated, meaning indoctrinated in prevailing groupthink and mainstream, whereas chopin is innately gifted and creates from inner passion and drive as a poet of the piano.
just look at pics. bach= powdered wig = embracing trendiness of the time, it's reflected in his music. I think he mostly uses simple geometric symmetry like copy paste in a round or mirror flip etc.
chopin= no powdered wig, he sees through the trendiness and thinks outside the box, probably has inner hate for the powdered wig fags, the eminems and lady gagas of their time.

Between 2015 and 2017 I wasn't able to look at treetops without having the first 4 bars of the Allemande of the Cello Suite in G in mind. It was a pretty good experience. I still sometimes wish that at least some trees or other plants would, when the wind brushes them, 'sing' Bach pieces. ... You would walk down a field and then the wind blows and then you hear every blade of glass 'singing' the Art of the Fugue. Different blades of grass would do different voices. That's a world I want to live in.

"their time" - you mean the 125 year gap between Bach's and Chopin's birth?

Ha ha Chopin is more technical maybe but other than that you are comparing two rather different types of composers.

You had that pair of fives I kinda regret never having had because they’ve become rather iconic.

this: LAZY_TITLE
and art of the fugue
his mind was that of a musical god. maybe some like w M w find him stiff, but his music was full of music really
his is so compact. he uses the same stuff in different alternations but in a very musical way, its not a copy paste fiesta.
chopin was a very gifted pianist and composer, but in a way he sounds dull compared to bach (whom he admired deeply) liszt would be a more suitable contender, I think. he pushed the limits of the musical thinking of his time.
