Perhaps it was one of the things he did. I just think that it is too

everyday an interest and certainly it was not an interest which motivated

him. It was just something he could also do with his skill and talent. The

problem with many commercial artists today that money is their only

motivation. Bach would write music even if he was starving.
There is a saying in Russia about writers: if you are able not to write -

then don't.
Bach was one of those people (I argue) who was not able not to write music.

It had nothing to do with impressing in order to secure a position. Real

talent leads a person. In fact, many genius people lived in poverty. I am

not saying this is good, but they kept doing what they did in spite of that.
