Re: Question Bach's Komm Susser Tod
(Why X-No-Archive? You do not post your name, so why would archiving
be bad? Paraphrasing you instead of quoting.)
Q: why does the "Komm, s�$(D????er Tod" in EoE not sound like J. S. Bach's
"Komm, s�$(D????er Tod" (BWV 478)?
Why should it?
»It's«[1] (almost, since people often leave the umlaut out [HTML entity:
ü] and cannot write the �$(D?? [HTML entity: ß]) three German
words that aren't that uncommon themselves. It's not THAT improbable
that the composers of the one in EoE
* did not know about Bach's
* did not think about Bach's
* chose the title independently
* or, perhaps, chose the same title on purpose and made something
completely different (the larch[1])
Probably there's no statement about that anywhere - but it's interesting
that someone pointed it out.
BTW: next time when you refer to Bach, do not forget to mention the BWV
number (here 478, it's easy to find at least a MIDI[7] of it via
Google). Same goes for other composers who made many pieces (Mozart
for example). That makes it much easier to find.

[2]: Never seen footnotes that go UPWARDS?
[3]: Footnotes suck. Recursion[3] doesn't.
[4]: Yes, I AM currently watching the "Flying Circus,"[5] in case you
didn't notice.
[5]: "English typography sucks.[6]
"It really does," he said. But he never heard the answer starting
with "but."
[6]: Note the odd number of quotation marks. And the unmatched [ in the
Postscript forkbomb below (that actually works). Try to guess why.
Yes, PS does suck.
