Speaking of quodlibet's, here's perhaps the most famous one, which ends J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations.

A More Specific Blog
I already have one blog, so why this one? For several months I've been thinking about having my own website, as a composer, so that people can have at least a glance at what I'm about. What has kept me from creating it, aside from the actual creation and upkeep, is that I don't think I really have enough to make it that interesting. For now, then, there is this new blog, The Quodlibet. The word comes from Latin and means "what you will," and is a music genre I particularly like where several different tunes are put in counterpoint to each other. Any topic musical I feel like writing about is game, whether it's a work of criticism, such as of a concert or CD, or about something I'm composing or learning, or about music in general. Enjoy!
