| The piece [a Fugue triple for organ in c minor] [...] has numerous numerical and symbolical references, as metaphors of clearly spiritual meaning, such as number 3: three themes, three sudden changes in harmony and tonality (the Bach's creative contribution to music), and the three motives developed in the various divertimenti. Another is number 99: both the first and second fugues are of the same length, of ninety-nine measures. A third numerical reference is given by Bach's number, 14; the name B.A.C.H. is implied 14 times in the fugue (second part); if then we consider the length of the composition, of 199 measures, and the fact that three of the measures are formed exclusively by the sum of the silent pauses, present for all the voices at the same time and grouped together from the very first measure, then it transpires that the actual length of the sound will not be 199 measures, but 199 minus 3 which equals 196. Now if we calculate the square root of 196, the sonorous measures, we once again come up with the number 14! Other mystical amusement and personal meanings are included in the work which for obvious reasons are not mentioned. |
