Bach By TwoPrimary Logic - Bach by Two
http://www.primarylogic.com/
"We've long known that music has some deeply moving properties. We are just beginning to learn how deeply moving music really is. We are beginning to learn that in the very young, music can reach into the web of thought itself and enhance higher brain function.
We have selected 21 Beautiful logical little gems from Anna Magdalena's Notebooks I & II, written and compiled by the master himself in part for his own children's early exploration of the harmonic system he helped popularize, and recorded them twice. Once in an up-tempo fashion for active play and again as lullabies for quiet time. The benefits of such an arrangement we believe are obvious."

http://www.spinnst.co.at/Gitarre/Eoetvoes/index.html
'Joszef Eötvös may have produced one of the finest major transcription for the guitar of the second half of the century. His variations are well crafted for a solo guitar, and stands up well against the original Bach manuscript. One cannot help feeling that the result is another faithful work of art, something that would have left a smile on Bach's face!' - Michael Stitt - Bach Plucked

Acoustical illusions
http://www.uni-bonn.de/~uzs083/akustik.html
'Besides the well-known optical illusions there are acoustic ones, too. Perhaps the most popular acoustics illusion is the effect that was discovered by Shepard: A scale that gives the listener the impression of an endlessly rising melody - but in fact the pitch of the tones does not rise. This way it is possible to play musical pieces that would otherwise cross the human perception threshold.'
