I have to agree that Bach is probably the ne plus ultra of composers.
Bach was alive during the transition from Meantone to Equal temperament
More than that, he wrote The Well-Tempered Clavier to demonstrate that a
tempered instrument could play music in any key.

Not really. The mathematically sound equal temperament didn't
