Eh, I don’t know, that just seems like what’s known as a “piano roll”, which doesn’t convey much information. I think this video gives a bit more insight into what makes Bach so special:

Oh, forgot to mention, it takes about 1 minute 15 secs before the video I linked to gets to the cool part.

thanks, for the link! I knew about the highly mathematical structures in Bach, but I’ve actually never seen them put into practice THAT clearly :-)

The video I posted above is obviously a different thing, but what I liked about it is that you can grasp almost immediately certain types of symmetrical/recurring structures in the melodic lines… also, I like seeing all the up and downs in the pitches-range so clearly!
