Bach seems most logical and at least somewhat predictable that's why I posed the Q.

Not at all. Because Bach is so straightforward, performers have nowhere to hide.
Bach is infinitely subtle so that once you think you have "learned' a piece and then look at it again you will see all that you have missed. And when you add in all the things you missed the first time, and look at it a third time you will see even more. and on an on for as long as you live. The world's greatest musicians study Bach for a lifetime without ever getting fully to the bottom of his music.
For example, consider this. The second movement of Bach's concerto for two violins is only a hundred bars long approximately. If Bach and only written this piece and nothing else, he would still be considered one of the greatest composers who ever lived.

Bach is not EASY, it's just SIMPLER. You can still have incredibly complex music with a predictable chord structure - you try playing a four part fugue in G# minor. You don't have to use all sorts of clever modulations and rhythms to make a piece challenging to play. Of course most Liszt is harder to play than most Bach - but Bach is by no means easy.

Not at all. Bach is a composer of barok season. In Barok season there is melody in both hands and it gets very confusing. Mozart is the easiest to play.

While it may seem that way, Bach is actually one of the more difficult composers to play, due to the fact that the notes are so exposed. Although, it may be simple to hit the correct notes when compared with a composer like Chopin or Liszt, it is very difficult to play well, because you must perform evenly and balanced, which is so difficult when every note stands out. Mozart is another composer that seems like "one of the easier composers to play", put in reality is one of the more difficult composers to play well.

well depends what your playing on. a piano easy arrangement then yes hard arrangement no But Bach is an organist so you would have to control the pedals and the manuals (keyboard) and it depends how many manuals and stop knobs you are pulling and if you want to control sound use the swell pedal

I would have to agree with the majority. It is very frustrating and you have to work hard on coordination. I have been learning since August. I am a slow learner when it comes to music, so it takes me extra long, and extra patience. If you are really serious about it, then go for it!

WHAT?!!??
Have you ever tried a four part fugue?
A four part fugue is not the most logical to me.
Musically it's almost the hardest!!!!!!
OMG
