Musical Espionage and the Bach Motif (Patreon)

For centuries, composers have been hiding a secret tribute to Johann Sebastian Bach in their works. From Schumann and Brahms to Schoenberger and Honegger, there's over four hundred documented cases of the same motif popping up in honor of one of western music's greatest composers. And the craziest part? It actually spells out his name! The theme is what's known as a Musical Cryptogram, a secret code that turns letters into musical notes so you can hide words, names, and even full sentences in your work, and the Bach Motif is just the beginning.
