Matthew explains how human creativity, and artistic genius, are not the result of ‘divine’ inspiration but rather flow out of the careful, detailed working out of compositional material. The video also explains Bach’s preference for thorough and comprehensive sequences of music, and why Bach made two cycles of preludes and fugues in every key, a decade apart.
