Bach's use of this cruciform melody in reference to himself extended to its inversion, retrograde, retrograde-inversion, and all transpositions thereof. J. S. Bach himself used it as a fugue subject in the final part of Die Kunst der Fuge (BWV 1080), a work he did not complete before he died in 1750. Works which prominently feature the BACH motif include, in chronological order: 1937-38 - Anton Webern: String Quartet (the tone row is based on the BACH motif) 1976 - Alfred Schnittke: Piano Quintet 1985 - Alfred Schnittke: Concerto Grosso No. 3
