A little classic Johann Sebastian for a quiet afternoon

[Lionel Mandrake]

Actually it's baroque.

1. Bach fugues are sometimes featured in movies.

The "Little" Fugue in G minor was played in the movie "The Paper Chase" (1973).

The Toccata and Fugue in D minor was played (by Captain Nemo) in "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea".

Parts of the Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor were played in the movie "The Godfather".

2. That was wonderful!

I love these schematic representations...

Plus, of course, the music is so beautiful.

Thank you, my dear Lionel Mandrake!

3. My dear CP,

You're welcome.

I agree with everything you say.

4. I was expecting "Summer In The City"

I gotta start wearing my reading glasses at the computer.

Thanx for posting anyway.

5. I have a special pair of glasses just for the computer,

because my eyes are farther away from
the computer screen than they would be
from a book or magazine if I were reading.
:eyes:

6. Me too.

I guess a lot of us do.
It's called O-L-D.

7. Presbyopia

is the technical term for this characteristic which we share. The word is is derived from Greek words meaning "old man" and "eye".

The lenses in our eyes used to have variable focal lengths. Now they have fixed focal lengths.

Young people who opt for Lasik surgery (mutilation of the cornea) may not know what's in store for them at age 40-50, when they may be dismayed to learn that they need glasses again.
