B - In German, the note "B-flat" is sometimes known by this other letter, with which addition to the usual range of letters representing the notes of the scale , the theme of "THe Art of the Fugue:" can be said to spell out the last name of dear old Johann S. whatsisname, its composer.

1 - H 2 - I 3 - J 4 - K

G - A few years ago a hit graduation song based on the harmony of a famous classical piece, was sung by a perky young woman, stage-named after a vitamin:

Vitamin 1 - A 2 -B 3 - C 4 - D

Okay, totally guessing on these..

H- it is usually A to G so.....

And I am a fan of Pauling's Vit C thing so I will say C although I do think he went a lttle wacky at the end

I have never heard this, but I will guess K, because "art" in German is Kunst. (I confess, I don't know if I am following the correct logic.)

Vitamin C. She no doubt was a big fan of Linus Pauling.

not freebies, but a question in which one has to be non-distracted by the fact I took a paragraph to write the first part.

b-flat is also known as "h" in German.

Which means the first bar:

B -way up to A - back down to C - and then a full tone down to B flat or H = BACH.

It is the kid with the hair indeed: "Vitamin C". And i dont remember which tune was borrowed, it might have been Pachelbel, or Fauré.

25-18 or something like.

I think that was a great Bach question, BTW, even if -- or because -- I missed it.

Maybe not Pachelbel (Tacobell) since his is usually BARF BARF BARF Canon in D. I played that so much I'd like to burn the music.
