Nice touch, Azrael. Yes, it is true that Bach was notorious for puting multiple melodies, and even his own name in his songs. Basically, Bach was awesome. But as to the next Beethoven/Mozart/Vivaldi/Bizet/Puccini, we may never see one, at least in that form of music, mainly because of its lack of mainstreamity (that's a new word). The closest I can think of, mainly because of his HEAVY classical influences is Yngwie Malmsteen, who is an INCREDIBLE guitarist. Modern day composers who write classical style music are not necessarily a rarity, but because of their lack of popularity you won't hear about them from your local music store clerk. The next Bach is among us, but can we find him? I doubt it.
