Dear Goldberg

The inspiration for Dear Goldberg came from a baroque variation composed by Johann Sebastien Bach. Legend says that the insomniac Count Kaiserling commissioned Bach to write this music to help ease him to sleep. This short snip of a film may have been a wandering dream the Count encountered while his hired harpsichordist Johann Gottlieb Goldberg played this tune from his neighbouring chambers. As the legend goes, upon slumber, Count Kaiserling would be heard yelling out, "Dear Goldberg, Do play me one of my variations"...
