I don't get it. Do you hope listening to Bach while holding such a thing in your possession would make his music, the music, sound differently? Feel differently?

Are you sure of that? I wonder whether you may not be underestimating the collecting mania.
Or for that matter, simple desire. There are objects I would give a great deal to possess, even on the understanding that no one else could ever know. Any snippet of music in JS Bach's hand, for example. A little 17th-century Italian pipe organ with split sharps (they're tiny, it would fit in my living room). The manuscript of any Trollope novel. Any painting by Poussin.
And I'm not even a collector at all!
