Bach's music usually has a religious undertone. Musical consonance stands for peace and order, but dissonance for conflict and disorder, which becomes particularly clear in the Prélude of the 4th Suite for violoncello solo, where "divine" order in the first half is juxtaposed with "diabolical" disorder in the second half. - The framework of the prelude, however, is formed by a "divinely arranged" recurring pattern of 8 notes in the key of E flat major: The 8th as an interval of the octave represents the greatest possible consonance and the key of E flat major with its 3 accidentals refers to the divine trinity.
