The guy who wrote Bach's libretti
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picander

Murakami

Emmanuel Swedenborg. Yea Forums loves him so fucking much.

Bach unironically sucks. why did anyone ever think that g*rmans could make music successfully? who gave them instruments? also, who the fuck gave them books and taught them to read? who the fuck is responsible for these savages getting hold of technology and knowledge. holy shit I hate g*rmans.

>Whoso would seize the wondrous individuality, the strength and meaning of the German spirit in one incomparably speaking image, let him cast a searching glance upon the else so puzzling, wellnigh unaccountable figure of Music's wonder-man Sebastian Bach. He is the history of the German spirit's inmost life throughout the gruesome century of the German Folk's complete extinction. See there that head, insanely muffled in the French full-bottomed wig; behold that master, a wretched organist and cantor, slinking from one Thuringian parish to another, puny places scarcely known to us by name; see him so unheeded, that it required a whole century to drag his works from oblivion; finding even Music pinioned in an art-form the very effigy of his age, dry, stiff, pedantic, like wig and pigtail set to notes: then see what a world the unfathomably great Sebastian built from out these elements! I merely point to that Creation; for it is impossible to denote its wealth, its sublimity, its all-embracing import, through any manner of comparison.

Wagner is the most Jewish-looking 'German' I've ever seen.

Probably Shakespeare, though part of the reason this is so difficult is because Bach laid groundwork for many many compositions, and doesn't need translation to be enjoyed.
Equivalents would be any single person who not only made basic works demonstrating how to create literature who also made works that are still around. Part of the reason this is so difficult to pin down is time and evolution of language.

Picrel is The Art of Fugue of literature.

So basically meme. Perfectly captures Queneau and Oulipo generally

t. amerifart

So you never read him or Oulipo.

Dante

I literally started reading Queneau and Oulipo before even started reading literary fiction, you pleb

But all you can offer is meme.

It’s Yea Forums. I’m going to shitpost in a shitpost thread. If you want my serious opinion and analysis of Oulipo, then make a serious thread and I’ll genuinely contribute.

>I can't post my epic wisdom in a shitpost thread because it might get lost in the shit posts!
Ok. Whatever.

why do you even think this?

Shakespeare

Really? Never seen a thread about him (would love to). Nothing compared to Guenon threads.

No im just being ironic. Only the elect like myself love him.

Wrong.
His facial features.

Oh idk maybe when they FUCKING DEFEATED the Roman Empire and assimilated their knolwedge and culture.

Imagine being so far up the ass of sarcasm that you pop out its nose berating one of the greatest composers who ever lived.

God, when he wrote the boring parts of the old testament.

There is no other artist as great as Bach. Nobody comes close.

h-have... you listened to bach?

Bach's Air on G string is better than your nonexistent literary career

Kys faggot

So many of the great composers were german its not even funny

Cervantes or Dante

Emily Dickinson

this shit literally sounds like shitty 80's power rock, like def leppard or boston or something. it's just not good.
air on g string is somewhat decent (for bach) but it's still overrated as fuck.

Shit taste.
>air on g string is somewhat decent
kek of course you only know popular meme pieces and you know them by their meme name.

yes but what in his face gives any jewish feature?

cope

It is you, in fact, who is coping.

gertrude stein

God I love Bach.

This
You cant write such music in a godless world.

For me it's bwv 105

Plato

>God I love Bach
this is how you sound.

Where my /fellow Christians/ at?

Spencer

Sounds fun from a sample but actually repetitive, highly derivative/generic, and turns out to be incomplete with no conclusion?

If you like Bach, read Albert Schweitzer's two part book on JS Bach. And of course GEB, which is actually kinda repetitive like art of fugue, a monologue in a pigtail spiral.

holy cringe

For philosophy jacob boehme and Aqunias despite being Protestant. There is no one like Bach for literature.

I'm a atheist, but if Christianity is a force and Bach a fruit of this force then when I hear Mass B's first vocal fugue I almost forgive Christianity for provoking the insanity that birthed this hell and me into it.

Bachites, help me identify which composition this is. It starts like this:

Most versions of this aren't very good but these are not too bad youtube.com/watch?v=-p85DPX7cMk

My favorite is still the 1970 Nikolaus Harnoncourt voca.ro/13CATjUlOELK

They always seems to turn sour or are way too fast

wow almost as if eternity of divine beauty justified anything huh?

Why are Americans like this

I’m interested in your thoughts. Can you expand on your correlation?

>BWV 565
Apocryphal work
Here's Bach's magnum opus

N/A. Stupid and impossible comparison.

>I'm a atheist

There is none. There is no such thing as "absolute literature" like there is absolute music.

>voca.ro/1gYJ6sSx5KIp
Not Bach. Also, you're slightly tone deficient.

Tolstoy

Bach isn't absolute music. Using that romantic term on a baroque composer is anachronistic and an odd choice.
