Bach's entire oeuvre is incredible. I'm curious to know what this particular work has to do with HN though?

Haha nothing in particular! I just happened to stumble upon that site, which I had forgotten about, while searching for this particular piece, which I find incredibly moving for some reason. I thought the HN hivemind might also find beauty and inspiration in it, which is why I shared.

great piece of music, beautiful website design, something completely different for a change. Bach wasn't into computers much, but man did he hack those notes. Great pick!

The web design used to be terribly unusable, with interface elements constantly feeling like they were trying to trick you. They managed to re-do it and improve it a lot.

It's a good sign. At one BWV per week, this project is going to take about 18 years in total. To succeed, they'll have to be prepared to go through many versions of the site.

You obviously hit the proverbial nail on the head and "figuratively" broke it considering that you're right at the top of Hacker News, something that becomes many peoples' claim to fame, for technical articles of course
