      A sad way to think about it is that he didn't think of it being played in late future, as of any of his other works, for he wasn't that much known for a long time, and his music was even forgotten by time for centuries. It's only later that his music was found and became popular as great pieces of fine musical art and genius. If not for certain individuals, his music might've gotten lost forever, which is a horrible thought. He probably wanted to ensure a place for his indisputable genius works as he had pieces compiling his best musical moments together, in a great work that he would've liked the world to remember, but it was by a thin margin that it was found.

      When the Voyager space probes was being prepared, someone suggested filling up the golden discs the probes will carry with Bach's repertoire. Someone responded, "Now, that's not giving a sample of humanity's music, that's boasting."
      So they put in music from various composers in those discs instead, with some Bach examples.

      @Oliver Viehland It has occurred throughout human history, and it will occur again. Geneticists recently discovered a "bottleneck" in the human genome that was traced back to approximately 40,000 years ago. Our species was nearly obliterated by something, causing the worldwide population of humans to decrease to fewer than 100,000.
      The Black Death of Europe killed between one third and one half of the population.
      The Flu pandemic of 1918
      World War I
      World War II

      This is the sound of the Universe. The voice of God. I played it for my father last year, it was played at his funeral this year. To me, it is the most beautiful piece ever written. And the funny thing is that it is hardly even a steady melody. It changes all the time, yet it feels constant and eternal. And then the heart beat in the bass.

    Bach was a wonder, and the most incredible thing about his music is that it can be enjoyed on so many levels. Most of you won’t give a damn about the genius of the rich harmonies, and the clever way he uses them to build and release tension to underpin the aching beauty of the melody … but then, you also don’t need to. Instead, you can be swept away by the soaring, heavenly music, and nothing will be lost to you. The music will be just as perfect, just as touching, and just as glorious. I love you, Bach.

    Though it can work for a wedding, surely. However, it's more of a piece I'd want for my funeral. Either way, you'll cry. If at the wedding, especially if were my daughters, I'd cry more than a baby. On the other hand, at my funeral, photos of me about, young and vigorous, as well as I am now, 70. I have tried very hard, and I believe succeeded, in showing people respect, kindness, gratitude, wit, and often funny. But I would want them to, at the moment, to remember me as I was to them personally. Then cry a little bit. Sounds narcissistic, but I'm not. But sentimental I am. Beautiful, heart warming piece. BRAVO, BRAVO.
