That may be, but he was a notorious misanthrope towards composers other than his beloved Bach.


Yea can't blame him tho ..being so deeply & sensatively entrenched in Bach's music like he was - the shortcomings of other composers would become much more readily & easily apparent, naturally ...
"eight remarkable measures ... surrounded by a half-hour of banality." Glenn Gould on Mozart's 40th Symphony
