This morning (14-04-1988) I woke up with 'Musikalisches

in this after reading 'Goedel, Escher, Bach' from D.Hofstadter. The persons
in the title refer to people whose works involve selfreflection. Goedel
made a mathematical theory about other mathematical theories. Escher
made famous selfreflecting drawings.
A hand is drawing another hand which is drawing

On the 'Musikalisches Opfer' Bach made many compositions
which reflect upon themselves (fugas, canons etc.).
