So wouldn't Sherlock have noticed that it was a Bach piece, as he played Bach frequently?
Yeah... I would think so. ;p Although it's also part of the big 'game' Moriarty is 'playing' with Sherlock, unfortunately successfully throwing him right off of one of the little riddles he left him (and even warned about... 'I hate riddles'... 'You should learn to like them' ) by Sherlock thinking it _was_ a clue to the key after the assassin mentioned it's existence again, and music was no longer on the radar? All things to just throw him off the big game.
Being a fan for a good while and just picking up maybe over half the stuff I then see talked about online.... Kind of 'sheesh' at the sheer amount of little detail and bits fans either pick up on or _think_ they pick up on (and are we making it too complicated?), and simultaneously shaking my head with wry amusement because it's So like Moftiss to have indeed put all that clever detail in there (in which case, ...sheesh, impressive), even if much of it simply adds to the bigger theme for fun, and not actually answers to any questions (and what questions, one might ask?). Talk about intelligent-oriented fun mind-drama!
Oi... seriously, the amount of thought that goes into everything, that everyone may or may not pick up on (such as even knowing what songs they were playing!) and having fun baiting us with so many clues of unknown importance. I don't know... trying to find a relevant question all those little baited clues would lead to (such as "how do I bring this guy down"), all those little comments about music/Bach/Moriarty's plans had to come up for a reason... I can't help but think he was very typically taunting clues right in his face, figuring he wouldn't get it (like he did with IT Jim). Tapping out Bach... bringing up the story about Bach... their 'unfinished melody' he was going to finish... promising Sherlock a 'fall'... Sherlock reading the little blurb about Richard Brook.... if he had added them together before the rooftop, he might have realized Moriarty was teasingly alluding even then to the Reichenbach Fall case that made him famous, that Moriarty created his alias from, and maybe tried to do something about it earlier. Or I'm just over-thinking it too, and by that time, it was too late anyway?
