Background

Bach's chorale arrangement of Durch Adams Fall is famous for pictorial symbolism. "The interval of a descending diminished seventh in the bass describes the sinful fall, the alternation between major and minor (f sharp and f natural) mankind's vacillation, while an undulating alto voice portrays the snake in paradise."Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
