Visualizing Prelude from Bach’s Cello Suite No. 1

Baroque.me (2011) by Alexander Chen. Video capture. Interact at:http://www.baroque.me. Baroque.me visualizes the first Prelude from Bach’s Cello Suites. Using the math behind string length and pitch, it came from a simple idea: what if all the notes were drawn as strings? Instead of a stream of classical notation on a page, this interactive project highlights the music’s underlying structure and subtle shifts.
