Never mind! the piece by steve martlans was a long one... probably more than 30 mins, hence the other three composers got little time only

To be honest I havent heard Bach yet. But some where I read the maestro's compostion is similar to Bach...like the two instruments getting repeated and many others in complex notes.

Maestro is god's wonder.
