How is this possible? Is he truly the greatest artist humanity will ever produce?

We don't know the future, but he might be.

Pretty much. Mass In B Minor and Art Of Fugue will never be beat as masterworks of the aural medium.

CHOPIN

I would say TWC and the Matthäuspassion.

Crediting anyone with the fibonacci sequence they intuitively use to time their music is like believing we actually "invent" new technology out of thin air, rather than observing and copying what we see. Silly.

I'd also mention the Musical Offering.
Cantata nº 4, Cantata nº 140, some of the Motets, Goldberg Variations, some of the Brandenburg Concerts (specially the 5th one), 1st Flute Sonata (BWV 1030) and Passacaglia/Fugue 582 (c minor) are masterpieces as well. I might be forgetting a few others.
Then you have a lot of random movements from cantatas, fugues, choral preludes, his work is really incredible.

really comes down to whether you're an autist or not

There are a lot of things Bach didn't invent. What he did, though, was taking things that existed, mesh them together and bring them to a point of expressiveness and perfection that no one else did.
Adam Jones
why don't people make classical like this naymore

Anton Reicha was pretty good. Took Bach's ideas on fugues to the next level.
People still write in ye olde styles. people still write fugues etc.
Look at this guy, not even well known and yet shits out bach-like fugues

Lots of composers still work in the tonal system, and write chorales or organ works. IT just takes time to recognize the masters, perhaps in 50 years a collection of scores will emerge to showcase another great tonal composer.
Bach is great, but he's just a composer. Composers still exist and still write very interesting music. Bach certainly is one of the great masters, but great masters can and will still exist.

Is there a list of essential new classical (like Beethoven, Mozart, Bach etc.)?
I know modern classical, checked the RYM charts but it's just electronic doodely doo and noise
Kevin Fisher

Levi Williams
Classical is unstructured bullshit
Lincoln Smith

This is objectively modern classical:
Ryder Ross
I would check out Arvo Part, Rautavaara, John Adams, Steve Reich and John Tavener for starters. Karl Jenkins is also pretty good for tonal music:
