Musicians of every age have hailed Johann Sebastian Bach as one of the greatest composers of all time. Beethoven called Bach “the progenitor of harmony.” He made a pun on the word Bach, which is German for brook, writing that “His name ought not to be Bach, but Ocean.” Johannes Brahms wrote: “Study Bach: there you will find everything.” Claude Debussy wrote: “And if we look at the works of J. S. Bach... on each page we discover things which we thought were born only yesterday, from delightful arabesques to an overflowing of religious feeling greater than anything we have since discovered.”
