Every piece of #music worth the name — every piece you've ever heard, including modern music — owes its existence to Johann Sebastian Bach, who died 275 years ago this year. I'm reminded of that every time I hear #DonaldFagen's song, Morph the Cat:

If you want to take your ear and brain through all the possible shades of the chromatic scale and marvel at one of the most brilliant works of classical music, listen to the entire "Well-Tempered Clavier" by Bach.
Although Bach tuned his own harpsichords and pianos, one day he got a professional tuner to come and visit him and fell in love with equal temperament, the tuning criterion used today. So he composed this brilliant work, 48 preludes and 48 fugues that ended up imposing this tuning method.
I recommend that autistic and neurodivergent people listen to it because this work is capable of calming and regulating any brain. My cats and my dog ​​love me listening to this.
