What a delightful book. Great complement to the Wolff volumes. I have listened to Bach my whole life, and more and more I appreciate how, with his music (for example the Sonatina from BWV 106, or the Mache dich aria from the St Matthew Passion) he communicates his version of amor fati: yes, life sucks and can be horrible etc., but it also beautiful; you just need to get on with it, and ultimately you cannot but love it.
