As a homage to Bach this piece is centered around the B-A-C-H motif. As nicely explained wiki: “In music, the BACH motif is the motif, a succession of notes important or characteristic to a piece, B flat, A, C, B natural. In German musical nomenclature, in which the note B natural is named H and the B flat named B, it forms Johann Sebastian Bach’s family name.”
Bach motif
Well, one day I felt very clever – I added two notes (E and D) at the end of it and got my own motif to get all Bached up over!
BACHed up motif
J. S. Bach is deservedly revered with almost divine awe in the circles of classical music. Indeed, even today, for any given Bach composition – composers will be inspired in diverse ways; each and every performer will find a very unique way to interpret it, and each and every performance will get criticized for very different reasons. Basically, everyone has a kind of unique and personal relation to Bach’s music.
So, what was my motivation?
I personally find Bach’s music very playful, even underneath all that of serious or religious subject matter. He was a passionate and inspired musician and as such I identify with him as a respectable friend rather than a harsh music God. Besides that, he also played viola!
So here I am! All Bached up!
