Bach, actually.

Wrote more complicated shit than most of the other composers people generally speak of when they're talking about goat composers and was considered the father of baroque music.

bach was also not the father of baroque music at all - he was a late baroque composer. He was more like the pinnacle of it.

I think of his stuff as a really interesting curiosity. His compositions are intentionally very limited. Nothing else quite gives me the same feeling as listening to the Gymnopedies, but it's a static kind of sensation, at least for me.

I like him, but it's almost as if he's not a "composer" in the same sense as someone like Chopin.
