It doesn't take a lot of words.  If one can distinguish between the
quality of J.S. Bach's musical work and that of his students, and
given the encyclopedic scope of Bach's endeavors, my 'presumption'
doesn't need proof.  It is self evident.  It was generous of Bach to
let his students take credit for what he taught them.
