I was in between A and B but I chose B which was incorrect. However, if there are a few highly regarded composers who wrote a comparatively small number of compositions wouldn't that weaken the idea that of Bach being prolific because he wrote over a 1000 compositions and they wrote a small number of compositions and they are "highly regarded" or prolific?
Please explain, thanks in advance!

Hi wbutler91,
A completely disproves the argument. If the only reason Bach is known is the volume of his work, then a composer with greater volume would have to be even better known.
B is more or less irrelevant to the argument. This is not an argument about what makes composers well known in general, but only one about Bach in particular. The author is saying that Bach is not well known because he had a high proportion of amazing work. This does not mean that no composers have a high proportion of amazing work.
