I give five *'s to JSB too.  In fact, I put him right up there
with Newton, who was so far ahead of his time that he had to
formalize a new system (calculus) to express his concepts.
Thus it was with JSB and the well-tempered scale.  All that,
and a family man too.  Douglas Hofstedter characterized the
complexity of the six-part fugue in the "Musical Offering"
as equivalent to playing sixty games of chess
simultaneously, blindfolded, and winning every one.
