[seqfan] A123456 = Albumblatt für Elise (- 20 ?)

[Maximilian Hasler]

I wanted to check something and entered A123456 as a "random number".

Then I noticed that this sequence has the same definition as A144488
but different values.

I somehow enjoyed listening to the music, but at the same time, I
don't know what to think about this "integer sequence".... (it has not
even a keyword specifying its nature...),
one of the problems being that this calls for a "uncountable"
completion --- one should also add the sequence of bytes representing

* the UTF-8 encoding of all important literature (maybe starting with
I Ching, Brahmana, the Bible, Greek literature from Homer's Trojan War
to Euclid's Elements, Caesar's Gallic War, etc, etc...)

* digitized images of important artwork (da Vinci's Mona Lisa, ...)
(in various formats, resolutions, colour depths ...)

etc etc...

Maybe the last example sounds a bit mad, but at least the UTF-8 (=
ISO-Latin1 = ASCII for characters in the respective subset) encoding
of classical texts should be included if music scores are.

But I admit that this is not very constructive so far....
Should we add
71, 97, 108, 108, 105, 97, 32, 101, 115, 116, 32, 111, 109, 110, 105,
115, 32, 100, 105, 118, 105, 115, 97, 32, 105,...
for "Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres"

or rather
71, 65, 76, 76, 73, 65, 32, 69, 83, 84, 32, 79, 77, 78, 73, 83, 32,
68, 73, 86, 73, 83, 65, 32, 73, 78, 32, 80, 65,...
for "GALLIA EST OMNIS DIVISA IN PARTES TRES"

or drop UFT-8, and code letters by 1..26 and separate them by a "0" ?
maybe both, just like for Beethoven's Albumblatt für Elise....

(I also ask for the corresponding "to text conversion" link --
as for the existing "cons" and "listen" links)

P.S.: "In the beginning there was nothing."
So it may seem natural to start counting at 0... ;-)
