MP3: Johann Sebastian Bach (Yo-Yo Ma) - Suite No.1, S. 1007 in G Major - I. Prelude

I asked my coworker if he could identify a classical song and he smirked, "I know classical songs, but I don't know any classical song names... they're all like 'Suite in C B A' and 'Concerto in A Minor Plus Plus'". Funny... but it also got me thinking. Isn't this what Autechre also does with their song titles? Garbagemx36, 6Ie.cr, VI Scose Poise - it's a way of avoiding labels. Nondescript, faceless, an indication that it's the music that matters, stupid. It's nice to know that a common attitude is shared throughout the history of abstract instrumental music.
