My girlfriend and I have watched this animation twice!
What a brilliant idea to show exactly, what Bach had done!

[@stjacquesremi]

This is one of the pieces by Bach I found out some time ago that absolutely blew my mind! Thank you for this

[@displaychicken]

This was amazing. I try to explain the genius of Bach to my family but they aren’t musicians and have a difficult time understanding what I’m describing. This video does what I can’t.

[@mercoid]

I’m glad it works with your family. My wife still can’t grasp it, nor is the least bit impressed.

What do colors mean?

[@LouisBrownPhotoguzi]

Fascinating!!!

[@pianoplayer1262]

I like the little hop/skip that they do when the lines cross (1:50 and 2:20 ish), it really helps keep the independence of the two voices.

[@CrossbowManD]

Excellent visualization. This is perfect to show someone who doesn't know what to appreciate about canons

[@SomeKindaWhale]

I read about the musical offering from Douglas Hofstadters Godel Escher Back and this is an amazing illustration of the repeating patterns! Thanks for putting this together! 😊

[@concerned1]

Wow.

[@leonhardeuler6811]

i had no idea the rhythm of the main theme was changed in this variation

[@Emersonlakeorpalmer]

This is what relative pitch is like

[@123cityperson]

finally, the first "the musical offering" canon that i heard

[@groezy]

'cancrizans' translates directly to 'crabbing'

[@leonhardeuler6811]

crabs walk back and forth, im guessing that is what they are referencing

Although the songs only took place in one area it was pretty cool because it’s pretty rare but still good song
