In several of his compositions Bach employed a kind of musical signature, his name expressed in musical notes. B signified B flat, A = A, C = C, and H was a German designation for B, so the letters of his name formed the sequence B flat-A-C-B. This is not a typical melody, but Bach used it as a cell on which to build fugues and other contrapuntal structures. Franz Liszt also wrote a fantasy and fugue on B-A-C-H for solo organ.
