I would consider amazing that you Remember Correctly what happened in
Bach's era. ;)
There are writings from Bach's time, from other musicians and such
anti-musicians as Critics ;-), in which people of his time expressed
their opinions of his music. I believe that the legendary Toccata &
Fugue in Dminor BWV 565 was considered unpleasantly daring and dramatic.
After all, Bach was a young whippersnapper at the time.
I always understood that JS Bach was fairly well-liked. He made a
living as a musician, unlike 99.99% of the people alive at the time.
