I also think Bach is responsible for the single most
beautiful piece of music ever, but for me it's Ich Ruf zu
Dir Herr Jesus Christ for organ, BWV 639.

I reckon the single most beautiful piece of music ever is

Ballade No. 1 by Chopin

I'll check out that Mister Jesus thing, though..

Surely you're joking - I love Chopin, but Ballade #1 I
wouldn't class in the same league as his nocturnes or his
preludes.

Check out Bach's complete works for organ, specifially his
religious works which widely go unnoticed because of
well...their religious context. His trio sonatas for organ
are also wonderful.

Bach's religious works get ignored because they're
religious? Are you joking?

His religious ORGAN works do not get the same recognition
that his secular ORGAN works do. Please take note that i
clearly say "organ works."

You're suggesting that, for some mysterious reason, his
religious works for organ are snubbed for their religiosity,
whilst his other religious works aren't and, in fact, are
amongst the most popular Baroque works? I'm not sure about
the validity of that reasoning.

Youre referring to his Cantatas, Masses and Motets? While
they do get considerable performance time year after year,
they clearly do not garner the same attention that his
Concertos, Keyboard and chamber work do, which
coincidentally are not religious (although many have been
proven to be based on other religious themes derived from
his very own chorals)
The fact is that even in non-organ work, Bach's secular
music has historically been more popular than his religious
work and have of late been shown to represent the Baroque as
a whole.

I would say that all of Bach's music is religious - he was
just about the most religious-motivated composer ever. But a
lot of his overtly religious works are extremely popular;
popularity of music isn't judged on how many times a
particular piece is played in certain concert halls per
year, although I'm pretty sure you don't have access to the
statistics of concert halls globally - concert halls aren't
especially known for their playing of Religious Works; most
of them churn out the same (or similar) programmes each
year... a mozart concerto here, a beethoven symphony there
etc.

One of the most popular pieces of classical music ever, The
St Matthew Passion, is also one of the most overtly
religious.

but if we take a convex set of finite measures with discree
support. the support of an extreme point of the convex set
can be characterized.

Hahaha.. I found that funny. Cause sometimes I call him
that just for fun.

Anyway, 'Sleepers Awake!' has long been one of my favorite
classical pieces, though it's a bit trite I suppose.

most bach pieces I've heard sound like geometric patterns-
not as much soul as chopin. This one chopin tracks sounds
like finding hope in the dreariest of circumstances.

Chopin is just too much. too many notes. overly emotional
and self-indulgent. It's music that needs to be more direct
and get to the point more. Too much style and, if there is
substance, it's all too often obscured. I agree with Glenn
Gould on Chopin.

Ha, what a load of bullshit - check out Chopin's piano works
and you'll see, quite plainly in front of you, that there
aren't great windy bits of ornamentation or meandering.
Maybe you're confusing Chopin with Liszt, infamous for his
flourishes and digressions.

Everyone loves them; occasionally someone will ask for
directions to a MIDI file of them so they can emulate it.
Sad, isn't it?
