Summary

The poem "When Bach was a Busker in Brandenburg" by Jim Culleny describes Johann Sebastian Bach as a busker who played for small coins. He set up his organ in a square, disregarding the presence of pigeons and squirrels waiting for food, and began assembling its pipes from a scaffold of arpeggios.
