Listening to Bach’s BWV 846 Prelude No.1 in C Major, one may conclude that the foundation of this solo piano work sounds close to Ave Maria.
Charles Gounod composed Ave Maria in 1859 during the romantic era, based on J.S. Bach’s Preludium No.1 in C Major from Well-Tempered Clavier Book I (BWV 846). However, Ave Maria is written in F major, not C major.
Many consider Bach the greatest composer of all time. Bach’s use of counterpoint is innovative and the complexities of his compositions (including religious and numerological symbols) keeps on amazing musicians today.
An interesting biography of J.S. Bach can be found here.

This is a beautiful song you’d only be able to hear nowadays in ancient music boxes discarded in the corner of an attic of a modern house. Sigh* Young people these days. (Lol I’m only 14 myself XP)
Imagine this song with no Surround Sound System, no mic, no nothing in a huge room covered all round with ladies and lords, how much discipline would one need to shut up and listen? Each and everyone straining their elegant rich ears towards a masterpeice noone can touch. That, my friends, is beauty~!

The heartbeat is suggested from the beginning, becoming more insistent,asking a haunting question at each beat – the rippling notes seeking to answer the question, leading one’s mind onward to beautiful thoughts which fill one with the inspiration to do lovely things.
