More 'Soli Deo Gloria'

The view from Mt. Diablo encompasses more of the earth's surface than any other summit on our globe except Mt. Kilimanjaro. If one could hear an entire musical composition the way the eye can see a view from a mountaintop it would be what the Greeks named 'kairos' or non-linear time. On some level everyone can do that. If asked whether you know the tune to 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' you don't have to sing it all the way through before you answer "yes." You know in an instant. That's kairos- hearing something which exists in linear time in an instant no longer than a pin-prick. That's how Bach and Mozart composed music. In response to his father's query as to whether he was composing something or just goofing off, Mozart told him he had just composed a symphony. Upon being asked by his father when he could hear it Mozart replied "when I put pen to paper." On another occasion when Mozart was asked how he composed, he replied "like a sow piddles." Bach, on the other hand, inscribed 'Soli Deo Gloria' at the end of many of his compositions- 'To God alone the glory.' And that's the difference between Bach and Mozart. In their own way they are saying the same thing.
Mozart's a snot
Bach is not
Both are sublime
Enough of this rhym-
ing doggerel!
