Ciao, is nice to see you. there was this rich oldish gentleman. he employed a young harpsicord player (Goldberg was his name) in his estate. Obviously the old man *was* rich. He asked Bach to write some pieces that Goldberg could play at night to ease his recurring headaches, and distract him from the pain. 40 pieces of gold. I like best played by Evgeni Koroliov.
