Oh, I don't deny Bach's talent...he was able to compose things in his head, as you say. Ah, it's hard to put into words what I'm trying to say.

All I really meant to say was, the depiction of a mobius strip is just the animator's choice, it's not a reflection of Bach's special property. The animator could have used a regular circle or a figure 8 or anything else and it would have worked for this song. The song is not innately like a mobius strip in any particular way.

When I say, take a song, cut it in half, flip it etc., I'm not giving instructions on how to make a song like Bach's. Rather, I'm giving instructions on how to make this animation. And you could do this animation with a Miley Cyrus pop song (just leave out the backwards-moving bit) but that doesn't mean Miley Cyrus writes songs with a special "mobius strip" like property.

There are two bars playing at once, in reverse directions along the loop. That was Bach's property, that the song is played forwards and backwards at once, and that couldn't be done with another song without some special preparation and skill.

The animator could have, after cutting it in half, flipped the second half left for right instead of up for down, and then glued. Then he could just play both sides at once, in a single direction. That would visually demonstrate the property.

But I'm just nitpicking. I actually do like this animation for what it is. The reason I commented was because I noticed that it suggests the possibility of actual mobius-like songs, with pitch inversions like I said...

I never get tired of hearing this masterpiece...
Bach was a genius

@johannsebastianbach3411

Aah, come on, you are making me blush :D

@neilgossell5841

It's stuff like this that always makes it hard to pick Beethoven over Bach as my favorite composer. Th genius displayed in this composition is otherworldly.

At first I was like "yeah, it's alright, not a very exciting piece" but then I realized the true beauty of what Bach has done.

@magicmulder

TheJaredtheJaredlong // I can admire the “twist” (pun intended) but just listening to it - not that captivating.

@tedason5797

@magicmulder I actually think it's really beautiful, not just about how brilliantly he composed it. It sounds so beautiful and captivating to me.

@jgunther3398

@magicmulder if you read the background of "the musical offering" (that this is part of) it was response to a challenge to demonstrate his technical skill. His most captivating stuff to me are the cantatas which you can hear by searching BWV 1 through 200
