N2 - The article attempts to make non-trivial statements about properties of great music that help make it “great.”Theexamples are two movements by J.S. Bach. The approach is “rhetorical” in that it not only involves close scrutiny of the music itself, but also consideration of the impact that properties of the music may have on listeners. Phenomena like expectation, fulfilment, deferral, frustration and surprise are crucial here–all generated by the ways specific properties of the music may interact with an attentive listener.
