Bach also had a great influence on composers who followed him. Composers such as [[Mozart]], [[Beethoven]], [[Schumann]], and Mendelssohn began using more contrapuntal elements in their works as a result of his influence. In addition, [[Chopin]]'s Preludes Op. 28 and [[Dmitri Shostakovich|Shostakovich]]'s Preludes and Fugues Op. 87 are based explicitly on the Well-Tempered Clavier. Other works that play explicit homage to Bach include Beethoven's Diabelli Variations and [[Franz Liszt]]'s Prelude and Fugue on B-A-C-H.
