Bach's Goldberg Variations

32 pp. | Charlesbridge | February, 2005 | Trade ISBN 1-57091-510-5 $19.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by JoAnn E. Kitchel. This fictionalized account tells how young Johann Gottlieb Goldberg, upon the recommendation of Johann Sebastian Bach, became a working member of Russian Count Keyserlingk's court in Dresden, moving up to official harpsichordist after meeting various musical challenges, including introducing Bach's Goldberg Variations to his patron. Cartoonish illustrations, replete with putti, add color if not dignity to the text.
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
