Converting hundreds of compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach into mathematical networks reveals that they store lots of information and convey it very effectively

I didn’t need proof myself, but I suppose it’s comforting nevertheless to have it mathematically confirmed.

    To provide a dissenting opinion, I’ve always preferred harpsichords to pianos, which is one of the reasons I love Bach so much.

    Pianos somehow sound simultaneously harsher than harpsichords with the off-putting initial clunk of the keys, and boringly muted in comparison.

      I do love a lot of his music. It’s just difficult to hear the shrill of the harpsichord, for me.
