Well you're right. If you play Bach straight it probably will be pretty boring, but have you ever heard Yo-Yo Ma or Pablo Casals play the Bach Cello suites? They play these very "strict mathematical" compositions with quite a bit of emotion. The listener hears it and thinks "Wow this is great music" (At least that what I think). Tonight I heard a recording of the German Brass play an arangement of Toccata and Fugue. I don't think anybody in thier right mind would say that they didn't play musically. I used to feel like you about baroque music (to much Air and Bourree I guess) buy why don't you give ol' J.S. one more try. Good Luck!
