Hi h5ringer!
I wrote this little piece a while back. Do you think it has promise as an Entry?

I certainly do think it is worth working up into an Entry Gnomon.
Although you mention that many other composers, apart from Liszt, have used the B-A-C-H motif, it might be worth putting this into context in that the list runs certainly to dozens of clear examples and many more less obvious ones. Another example certainly worth mentioning because it is so different from Bach's work, is Webern's String Quartet Op.28 - a strict serial technique composition, but the tone row used is based in B-A-C-H.
The other thing I would add is the use of similar motifs for other composers such as D-S-C-H for Dmitri Shostakovich, a motif which occurs quite a few times in his works, most notably in the 3rd movement of the 10th Symphony where it is intertwined with a theme that cryptically represents Elmira Nazirova - you can link to A12736785 on that.
Go for it
I'll buy you a beer on Saturday evening

Thanks for those words of encouragement. I didn't know whether this was worth doing, but I'll do some more research on it now, and make a proper entry of this.

Hi Gnomon. Hope you had a good trip home. I really was great to meet you at last yesterday.
A2135882: this is the Mathemetics and Music entry that we spoke about. Have a read through it and the PR thread again. If you don't think it worth the effort then fairy nuff, but it might make a nice rescue.
Cheerz
PS I still owe you that
