Briefly recounts an important incident in the life of the young boy who grew up to become a famous composer.

Johann Sebastian Bach, the chapel organist for Duke Wilhelm, is already frustrated when the duke assigns him a servant he is sure is a spy. Young Frederick, however, is a free spirit like his master and they both know what it is like to not be able to follow one's dreams.

"Every famous piece of art has an origin story--even Bach's Goldberg Variations! When the richest dude in town can't sleep, he hires a much-less-rich dude named Johann Gottlieb Goldberg to play him lullabies on the harpsichord. Goldberg does an OK job, but as the Rich Dude hollers for Goldberg each night, he wakes up the whole town in the process. As the town gets sleepier and sleepier and grumpier and grumpier, Goldberg worries he may be out of a job soon. But then, the one and only Bach enters the scene with a series of lullabies composed specifically for the Rich Dude. And, thus, the Goldberg Variations are born!"--OCLC.
