B–A–C–H| A musical theme formed of the notes B flat–A–C–B natural, which in German nomenclature are written B–A–C–H, and used by various composers as a reference to Johann Sebastian Bach, who was himself the first to use it. |
| Some examples of its use are found in the following works: |
| Bach, Johann Sebastian, one of the subjects of the final fugue (unfinished) in Die Kunst der Fugue (four organ fugues are probably spurious). |
| Busoni, Fantasia contrappuntistica for piano and for two pianos. |
| Eisler, Trio on a 12-note row. |
| Honegger, Prélude, ariso et Fughette for piano. |
| D'Indy, Beuron in Tableaux de voyage for piano. |
| Liszt, Fantasy and Fugue for organ. |
| Nielsen, Riccardo, Ricercare, Chorale, and Toccata for piano. |
| Rimsky-Korsakov, Fugue in Chopsticks Variations for piano by various composers; six variations for piano, Op. 10. |
| Schumann, Six Fugues for organ or pedal piano. |
