Fugue 24 in B Minor, BWV 869, sped up 2x.

Original for reference:

If you have issue with this…Ms. Germanotta was accepted into the Julliard early program at 11, though she declined to attend; she was accepted into the NYU Tisch program at 17, one of 20 students worldwide to gain early admission to the Collaborative Arts Project. Sure, she dropped out two years later to pursue her career but if you think that was a bad choice I really don't know what to tell you.

As far as The Master goes, she's always held him in high regard, even said she taught her how to be popular…

“I was classically trained as a pianist and that innately teaches you how to write a pop song, because when you learn Bach inversions, it has the same sort of modulations between the chords. It’s all about tension and release. But I want to do something that speaks to everyone. To me there is nothing more powerful than one song that you can put on in a room anywhere in the world and somebody gets up and dances. If you put a classical piece on, everyone’s not gonna mobilise. It’s gotta be something that resonates on a visceral level.”
