Bach all day.
Another Bach favourite from childhood. His Badinerie, from Orchestral Suite No. 2. The sheer joy and energy of Bach’s movements here dispel any criticisms of “dry, mathematical stuff.” In fact, CPE Bach told Forkel that the elder Bach “was no lover” of any such thing. Try humming along to this one! It makes you want to bounce up and down in enjoyment. I know I used to put this on repeat over a decade ago.
