I am only an amateur player of Bach, but I felt the same way. However, it probably is worth noting that a major reason why Bach works in this context is the particular nature of his music--or more precisely the particular subsample of his music that GEB refers to. I don't think the music of most other composers, or even some of Bach's less contrapuntal music, would have made sense in this context.
