"Bach's Goldberg Variations" by Anna Harwell Celenza tells the story of the creation and significance of J.S. Bach's iconic work through the lens of its historical context and music. The narrative follows a young boy named Johann Gottlieb Goldberg, who is commissioned by Count Hermann Carl von Keyserlingk to play these variations as a remedy for the Count's insomnia. As the variations unfold, readers explore themes of creativity, the relationship between art and patronage, and the transformative power of music. The book beautifully intertwines Bach's genius with personal stories, making it an engaging read for both music lovers and history enthusiasts.
