Well, I have to admit that the note h, and the semantical similarities
between "es" (e flat) and s opens up for a lot more possibilities for
making musical anagrams. Johann Sebastian and his sons wrote a couple of
compositions on the BACH motif. I have them all in ABC, but I seem to
have mislaid some of them :-(
But here's one by Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach (Johann Sebastian's
9th son). He expanded the idea a bit, adding H[ans] C[hristoph]
F[riedrich] to the theme. It's a nice little piece; short, simple, fun
to play and delightfully weird sounding :-)
