How to Name It? Nothing But Wind

How to Name It? (1986) is an instrumental Indian-Western fusion album by Ilaiyaraaja.[1][2] This was Ilayaraaja's first fusion music album. The album has musical movements that are dedicated to Tyagaraja, a religious musician and composer from South India (1767-1847) and the Western baroque music composer, J. S. Bach (1685-1750) of Germany.

One of the tracks is based on Preludium in E by Johann Sebastian Bach.
