Listen free: https://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Goldb... --- Johann Gottlieb (Théophile) Goldberg [Gollberg, Goltberg] (Danzig [now Gdańsk], bap. 14 March 1727 - Dresden, 13 April 1756) German keyboard virtuoso and composer. Little is known for certain about his childhood, other than that he was an exceptionally talented performer, attracting the attention of Hermann Karl von Keyserling, the Russian ambassador to Saxony, around 1737. Goldberg was reported to have studied with both J. S. Bach and Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, Bach's eldest son, though the periods of study are not known; Goldberg may have studied with J. S. Bach as early as 1737, shortly after Keyserling recognized his talent in Danzig, and Goldberg may have studied with W. F. Bach at any time before 1745, since W. F. Bach was in Dresden throughout Keyserling's tenure there as ambassador. The most famous part of Goldberg's life is the portion, probably in 1741, recounted by J. S. Bach's biographer Johann Nikolaus Forkel, which involved the composition of a set of variations by Bach to help the insomniac Count Keyserling pass sleepless nights. Keyserling's favorite chamber harpsichordist was the 14-year-old Goldberg, whose technical accomplishments were so spectacular that they made it possible for him to perform a work of such extraordinary difficulty. Goldberg remained with Count Keyserling until around 1745, and disappears from the historical record until around 1750, when he was included in a concert described by W. F. Bach in a letter of 1767. In 1751 Goldberg was hired by Count Heinrich von Brühl, and he remained in the employ of Brühl for the rest of his short life. He died of tuberculosis at the age of 29 and was buried in Dresden on 15 April 1756.
