I kind of see how he uses the ground to make these amazing canons, but how the hell does this process work? The most cleverest composer in the world.

[PerrrfictKats]

In the winter of 74 - 75, a professor from the Strasbourg Conservatory seeking information about an old volume of music in his possesion led scholars to one of the most inportant Bach discoveries of this century:the composers personal copy of the Goldberge Variations. The print since purchased by the Bibliotheque national in Paris, contains Bach,s own corrections and revisions but its particular value lies above all in asingle manuscript page at the end. Bach entered a series of 14 cannons

@thegoddescomposer If J=10 and S = 19, how does 10 + 19 + 14 = 41?
