Bach used Werckmeister-III, today we use equal temperament. They are crudely
similar in that all keys are usable. In Werckmeister however all keys are
subtly different. In ET all are the same.
My regret in life is that I didn't spend more time as a youth studying
math and music theory. Very interesting links. Thanks.
So for Bach, it seems he was such a genius that that
is not
recognized/understood even 4 centuries after him. See

Agreed. His genius shines each time we play his simplest compositions.
Lots of harmony lessons to learn!
