Awesome, i love listening to Bach while developing.

While you're here, what other classical music can you recommend, especially for listening while working/focusing?

For me, it's currently

- Max Richter, discovered recently and he is fantastic

- The 'New Classical Essentials' playlist in Apple Music

- Brahms, especially String Sextet No. 1 (warning: can make Vulcans cry)

I wish I could listen to classical music while using my brain. I can't. I end up listening to the music.

I've been listening to Scarlatti keyboard sonatas recently. They're great. He was born the same year as Bach.

I love the Schubert song cycles, like Winterreise. There's enough overall stability to get into flow state but variety across each song.

I'm probably a dinosaur but I have yet to find a version better than the very old Fischer-Dieskau/Gerald Moore combo.
