POO: Johann Sebastian Bach

Oh and my POO Bach is absolutely the second movement of the Double Violin Concerto. I grew up on Zukerman/Midori but enjoy most the NBS performance on YouTube maybe

Bach I don't much like? Concerto in the Italian Style. I can't exactly point to anything wrong with it, it's just so damned F Major. It sounds a little too self-satisfied for me, like a lot of Mozart.

Vivaldi Autumn drives me crazy for the same reason tbh (not the lovely middle movement, the aggressively F-major first and thirds)

Yes, exactly that.

I know very little about the actual history behind various Bach pieces but I always wondered if he just didn't like "the Italian style" very much and was sneering at it a bit when he wrote it.
