The Goldberg Variations (BWV 988) were written
by Bach with the intention of being played on a
harpsichord or another type of clavier. However in
the 20th century many versions played on piano
have surfaced, the performance by Glenn Gould
being quite notable. The variations were written
to be performed by one Johann Goldberg, a
musician in the court of a count named Kaiserlin.
It is said that the count suffered from insomnia
and he could only be lulled to sleep by hearing
Goldberg play the variations. This could, however,
be an urban legend.
