“Bach merged the horizontal Counterpoint with the vertical Harmony. Before him, Harmony was subjected
to Counterpoint. After, him, it is the contrary. Thus, he merged the Line with the Color,
the Old time with the New time ; his Head was a titanic Forge.”
Jean-Michel Rene Souche

“There is wisdom in always exploring the counterpoint- sometimes a silver cloud has a dark lining too.”
Gyan Nagpal
