Haha. I only heard about that from talking with German friends. Apparently, J.S. Bach composed some things using the letters of his own name B-A-C-H. I'm not versed enough in classical music to know more but here's a wikipedia entry on it:

Shostakovich did the same thing with his name, DSCH- Which also is found in Mozart by accident. And Dmitri quoted the Mozart passage in his own SQ quartet # 8.
