It started with an Instagram Post (instagram.com/p/CkdqO7DgJ9p/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) , but like all questions about Bach, to answer the question of Bach's 'longest' piece required posing further questions:  



Longest how? Minutes? In terms of Measures? In terms of the longest single piece on a concert? ...wait, what is a 'piece' anyhow? Does one of the passions count as a single piece? What about just the amount of notes? 



You may be surprised to hear the answers... or maybe you've know the answer in your heart of hearts all along.
