Just one quick question, how old are you? When I was in high school, I thought Bach was crap could find nothing musical about it. To me, it was a bunch of notes on the page, nothing like future composers. Then I went to college and learned about Yo-Yo Ma. I heard the Eb Flute Sonata transcribed to tuba. I also started paying attention to chorales and fell in love w/ Bach's stuff. My opinion of Bach is that he wrote the music, it was to be played however you interpreted it. If you look at Bach's compositions, he rarely has any articulation or dynamic markings written. Perhaps he left it open for the player to have more liberties with interpretation?
