The name of Bach was to provide a theme for a number of subsequent composers, following the example of Johann Sebastian Bach himself, who had used his own name as a fugal subject in The Art of Fugue, to be followed by his youngest son, Johann Christian, who w rote his own fugue on the same subject. The letters represent in German notation the notes B flat, A, C and B natural, an angular figure well suited to fugal treatment.
