I learned a lot about Bach and also why some classical music recordings sound so dead — as if every note has been drilled beyond meaning — and amateur recitals sound so lively (the excitement of wrong notes and spontaneous expression).
Though the author concludes that Bach did not channel his grief better than angry birds, I would say that it gave him a lens through will to see his grief, as if it were the grief of someone else.
