exist then. the notions of fugues and counterpoint were (mostly)
developed 400 years ago in western europe - before that time having two
melodic lines in opposite motion but also harmonizing would have
probably sounded very odd.
We certainly owe to Bach what we consider musical now.
IIRC, some of Bach's music was considered too chromatic and dissonant at the time.
