How a Bach canon works (nothing to do with NWC, but musically interesting)

Nothing to do with NWC, but this link will interest many NWC users. It's an animated manuscript playing a single musical sequence played front to back and then back to front.

Thank you David! It's really fantastic. It's a further proof of the genious Bach. I'm spreading this link among all my contacts. It's a further proof of the genious Bach.

You can check it out yourself; it is available on Scriptorium. Create a new staff, copy one of the existing staves to it, force accidentals, run the retrograde tool, then audit enharmonic spelling. Compare the result with the existing staff--does anything look familiar?
