The Count was often ill and had sleepless nights. At such times, Goldberg, who lived in his house, had to spend the night in an antechamber, so as to play for him during his insomnia. Once the Count mentioned in Bach's presence that he would like to have some clavier pieces for Goldberg, which should be of such a smooth and somewhat lively character that he might be a little cheered up by them in his sleepless nights. Bach thought himself best able to fulll this wish by means of Variations, the writing of which he had until then considered an ungrateful task on account of the repeatedly similar harmonic foundation.

  • Boston Baroque Notes
    Members of Boston Baroque An Afternoon of Chamber Music This afternoon’s program of Baroque chamber music, designed by members of Boston Baroque especially for this Williams College appearance to complement the course “Music in History: Antiquity to 1750,” unfolds a panorama of chamber music-making across Europe during the 17th and early 18th centuries. The newly-born genre of the “sonata”, which first emerged in early 17th-century Italy, forms the backbone of the program. In the Baroque period the term “sonata” (from sonare – “to sound”, as opposed to cantare – “to sing”, from which the term “cantata” derives) generally designated multi-movement works for one or two melody instruments (usually violins, though winds were possible) supported by a continuo group (usually consisting of harpsichord or organ to fill in the harmonies, as well as a low string or wind to reinforce the bass line and occasionally contribute to the counterpoint). The first four pieces on the program trace a century’s worth of attention to this genre through the lens of four national styles – Italian, Austrian, French, and English. After a brief detour into the world of Italian variations based on the repeating harmonic patterns bergamasca and ciacona, the program concludes with two more sonatas, one a solo sonata and the other a trio sonata, representing the heights of the genre in the German-speaking lands at the end of the Baroque era. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Dario Castello, a composer and wind player active in Venice in the first half of the 17th-century, contributed substantially to the early formation of the genre with two collections of sonatas, totaling 29 works in all.

  • Ignacio Prego Program Notes
    PROGRAM NOTES Sometime during the 1740s, Johann Sebastian Bach at Leipzig performed a church cantata for five voices and instruments for the Feast of St. John the Baptist. There was nothing unusual in this, as Bach had been composing and directing performances of church cantatas there since 1723. But those works normally called for four voices, and this one was not of his own composition. It was instead by Johann Gottlieb Goldberg, born at Danzig in 1727 and apparently a pupil of Bach, or possibly of Bach’s son Wilhelm Friedemann. This same Goldberg was a child prodigy at the keyboard (so was his sister Constantia Renata). In addition to two impressive vocal works, he is known to have composed keyboard music, including a set of twelve variations on a minuet, as well as a trio sonata that is good enough to have been mistakenly attributed to Bach. By the 1740s he was working for Bach’s friend and patron Carl von Keyserlingk, Russian ambassador to Dresden in Saxony. It is this Goldberg for whom Bach is often supposed to have composed the famous set of variations that go by his name. According to Bach’s early biographer Forkel, Goldberg would play Bach’s variations for Keyserlingk during the latter’s sleepless nights. Presumably his doing so was not intended to put the diplomat to sleep, but rather to keep his mind occupied while he remained awake. For no attentive listener could have quickly grown tired of the endless variety and unparalleled inventiveness of Bach’s composition. Goldberg’s name has become inextricably tied to Bach’s set of variations.

    PREVIEW NOTES Pamela Frank, violin; Nobuko Imai, viola; Clemens Hagen, cello Tuesday, April 8 – 8:00 PM Perelman Theater, Kimmel Center Program Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 [Arr. Sitkovetsky] Johann Sebastian Bach Born: March 31, 1685 in Eisenach, Germany Died: July 28, 1750 in Leipzig, Germany Composed: 1741 Last PCMS performance: Mikhail Yanovitsky, 2001 Duration: 57 minutes The "Goldberg Variations” is the last of a series of keyboard music Bach published under the title of Clavierübung and is often regarded as the most serious and ambitious composition ever written for harpsichord. Based on a single ground bass theme, the variations display Bach's exceptional knowledge of musical styles and his virtuosic performing techniques. The work is often considered to sum up the entire history of Baroque variation, much like Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations of the Classical period. However, doomed perhaps by its requirements of virtuoso techniques from a performer, it was not as well known as the Well‐Tempered Clavier, which was not published during the composer's lifetime. Regardless, many have long regarded the work as the most important set of variations composed in the Baroque era. The origin of the variation’s name is still under debate. The popular title of “Goldberg” owes its existence to early Bach historian Johann Nikolaus Forkel. According to Forkel, Hermann Carl von Keyserlingk requested that Bach write a work for his house harpsichordist, Johann Gottlieb Goldberg. Keyselingk, who suffered from insomnia, wished that Bach’s composition would be light and lively in hopes that it would cheer him up during his sleepless nights.
