Paul and George had however learned one classical 'party-piece' at an early age: Bach's Bouree in E minor. This would form the basis of one McCartney's best loved songs
Part of its structure is a particular harmonic thing between the melody and the bass line which intrigued me. Bach was always one of our favourite composers; we felt we had a lot in common with him... I developed the melody on guitar based on the Bach piece and took it somewhere else, took it to another level, then I just fitted the words to it.
