      I’d seen that page a long time ago, Derek, but while I knew Bach had “played” with the notes “BACH” in one of his fugues and have long been fascinated by his monogram:

      I’d forgotten the musical cross that Timothy Smith found (both are on that page you linked). And I’m reminded, too, of the various later composers who worked on the theme “BACH” including Schumann, Liszt and Max Reger.
