| Jun 27, 2023 at 8:24 | comment | added | Tim | There have been many composers who tried to follow Bach's lead, some continuing their names' spellings starting at A again after G to get to later alphabetic letters. Too contrived, really, but they seemed determined to do it! Getting raw beginners to play words (in whatever octave) is quite early in my agenda. Doesn't necessarily help the stave, but certainly helps find the way round a piano keyboard. | |
| Jun 26, 2023 at 23:13 | comment | added | Laurence | @Brian THOMAS I think the most-cited prize has to go to BACH. (Remember, in German notation B is Bb, H is B.) | |
| Jun 26, 2023 at 17:09 | comment | added | Brian THOMAS | Some people are lucky enough to have names that turn neatly into notation. The one cited most often is Dmitri Schostakovitch, who becomes a motive in his own music appearing as the four-note sequence DSCH - or D E flat C B natural. | |
| Jun 26, 2023 at 17:01 | comment | added | Divizna | @BrianTHOMAS IIRC a popular notion is that Beethoven was DEAF, but it doesn't sound all that nice... I just played CABBAGE and it really sounds like a song. | |

Once you've cracked that you can add S (E flat) and maybe use H and B (German for B natural and B flat respectively). | |

| Jun 26, 2023 at 3:28 | comment | added | Rusi | Don't obsess... +1 Bit disorganized — like that too! CABBAGE?? What's that? | |
