    Dear Johann Sebastian Bach,

    I thank you from he bottom of my heart, for producing such wonderful works of art that span the centuries to sparkle vividly on the ears, and hearts of dumbfounded listeners, stupefied with its genius and magic.

    Sincerely,

    Someone removed 300 years, 3000 kilometers from you.

    Though he didn't do it here, Bach has written pieces where one portion of the tune was another portion flipped upside down (low notes for high notes). So I wouldn't be surprised if he wrote a piece with true möbius geometry.

    Makes me laugh. Bach is funny, what with his perpetual and endlessly modulating cannons. I love them.

    Bach, the god of baroque music. Hard to believe he was indeed a human being.
