@Gregg I really thought it would have fit better with C'MON NOW as it makes more grammatical sense with the hint.

@Max G. What type of exercise would Bach do though? The clue never said he made one.

@Shari Coats I always feel good when I check wordplay and see that I got some of the tricky clues myself. Not so much after when I realize I realize that means I'm still stuck

@dutchiris I had the same thing happen to me, I debated leaving the V/m empty on my first pass but ended up not. Would have caught it sooner if I had.

@Andrzej usually the spoilers are contained below the opening paragraph.

@Vaer I accidentally got CAPONE while I meant to put in Pacino but it was the name that came to me first

@JohnWM no where does it imply Bach wrote an etude

@KC if you bothered to read the wordplay you'd have seen that the constructor uses to construct back then.
