Johann Sebastian Bach would never be as appealing for his adventures in life and good looks as, say, Mozart or Beethoven[phpbay] His famous portrait showing him as an old man in a white wig holding a piece of sheet music scared away many generations of young music lovers[phpbay] I think that this picture doesn't do justice to this composer capable of great emotional deepness[phpbay]
Mozart had an exciting death, writing his Requiem in his deathbed, adding popularity points to his character[phpbay] Beethoven was kind of a romantic hero, and became deaf making him even more appealing[phpbay] Bach? He never left Germany and his life passed without many interesting facts standing out[phpbay] Other example of a great classical composer suffering of low popularity because of his not-so-interesting lifestyle is old Haydn, the father of the symphony, who is always overshadowed by the naughty Mozart[phpbay]
But I think that this injustice also gives greater merit to Bach, in that all his popularity is due to his music, and not any extramusical fact[phpbay] It is better this way, you can know him much better through his music than through words[phpbay]
