I didn't know you were out of DC! Lived there for a couple years... I don't know half as much about Bach as I should. I've heard that his music is more objectively "mathematical" than other composers, but I never knew whether that was apocryphal or not. If true, does anybody know whether he composed via some sort of algorithm? To me, there's a difference between intuitive composition that contains within it a mathematical element and a mathematical composition that apes intuitive design. One is just good composition; the other is... what? Given the above paintings, I'm not so sure anymore...
