Today's musical selection: JSBach's "Air on the G String". Calm and pleasant, but the real reason is that junior-high me couldn't believe there was a song called that, and couldn't help wondering whether she was happy about it or not. Old me is past all that (but was she?)

sent by a friend while we were discussing JSBach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor and how you can hear so many modern pieces of music nestled inside of it– not even Bach was 100% original, because that isn't possible nor should it be an endgoal. Isolating art just strips it of any resonance.

Occasionally - like this morning - I read a bit more of #GodelEsherBach (1979) by #DouglasHofstadter, and each time I ‘get’ around - I guess - 60-70% of what I’m reading, which isn’t bad for an ‘unscientific’ like myself. I always have #JSBach’s ‘A Musical Offering’ playing quietly too of course.
