Bach quotes and more Bach quotes. The amusing entertainment lasts 72 minutes and makes clear why Bach can definitely be classified as the most gifted and greatest composer of all time ... without regard, of course, to the very subjective view of his work. And many people may prefer Mozart's, Beethoven's or other composers' music. But for no other musician so many celebrities are enthusiastic and have been enthusiastic. The Bach quotes and tributes are arranged in such a way that the listener has enough time to think about the content after listening. Bach's musical works are among the composer's best known and most popular, and you can listen to each one in full on "Bach on Bach" beforehand. The third component in the medley is a short biography of Bach, just eight minutes long – also spoken by a professional – and backed by the music pieces you can listen to. Excitingly, the Bach quotes themselves naturally outline a wide spectrum: from statements to the point – in three concise words – to the most sophisticated literary style. And that's why repeated listening is always fun. Just listen to a really long audio sample.

Originally, the project was only a full 20 minutes long, with one Bach quote following the previous one. Practically without breaks. There were no more Bach quotes after that. But there are now many longer pauses "built in". In fact, after a first mix, the Bach quotes were so close together that there was hardly time to "appreciate and analyze" them at all. Meanwhile, the latest and final version is well over an hour long and, together with Bach's music, a delight. The little spoken mini-biography wonderfully lightens up the collection of Bach quotes and, by the way, it is exactly the biography, without film and pictures of course, that you can also watch on "Bach on Bach". Which proves that the mini-biography can do quite well without "something to look at".

The passages are alternately narrated by a male and a female voice, and they are interrupted by musical passages. Both narrators are professionals.
