J.S. Bach – Crab Canon on a Mobius Strip

This is quite fascinating… Canon 1 a 2 from J.S. Bachs Musical Offereing (1747). A single musical sequence that is to be played front to back and back to front. Is there a name for these in Music? The term for a word spelled the same backwards and from the front is Palindrome. Example: level or an example of a phrase that is a palidrome: step on no pets. Enjoy this video.
