As someone who plays the piano, I've played some of his stuff and I can't help but think that he's a genius... as well as many composers.

JS Bach? Definitely a genius. Those organ preludes, tocattas, fantasias, and fugues are just so intricately written and at certain times, sound so powerful and invigorating.

^And mathematical in their precision, in terms of melody and counter-melody.

I would like to see everyone that answers 'yes' to this question give a rational argument why he was. |

Okay. He developed a complex basis for the baroque style of music, so that any chord structure played would work. He developed music that was overwhelmingly moving to the emotions while at the same time being technically, mathematically exact. |

Exactly. Bach found the mathematical rules that apply to pleasing music... not a lot different from early physicists that determined the mathematical relationships for movement of objects. |
