It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Toccata and Fugue

There's another Toccata and Fugue in D minor--it's BWV 538, the so-called "Dorian" (from the key signature). It's a later work; the toccata is more like a Baroque concerto first movement, and the fugue shows Bach's mastery of counterpoint more than the more-famous toccata (BWV 565) does. As a player, I've found the "Dorian" more enjoyable to play.
