J.S. Bach - Cello Suite No. 1 - Prelude
Baroque.me (2011) by Alexander Chen. Video capture. baroque.me visualizes the first Prelude from Bach’s Cello Suites. Using the math behind string length and pitch, it came from a simple idea: what if all the notes were drawn as strings? Instead of a stream of classical notation on a page, this interactive project highlights the music’s underlying structure and subtle shifts.

On a personal note regarding my own piano practice, l am working on Bach’s Prelude in C and the first of the Six Little Preludes from the Wilhelm Friedemann Bach Notebook.
Sean Scully: ‘There are no certainties in my paintings’
7.40 “It should be something that is happening all at once, that is inhabiting you and that you are doing and you have one way or another managed to get yourself into that space and there’s an angel on your shoulder. That’s how you should make art. If you are plotting art and trying to make something to get something you are not in a state of creative innocence. You are not making art; you are doing something else.” 8.24
