The Musical Offering and The "Goldberg Variations" 巴赫約翰‧瑟巴斯提安 音樂的奉獻 郭德堡變奏曲

音樂祭》的創作源于巴赫對柏林腓特烈二世宮廷的一次訪問，當時腓特烈二世的兒子卡爾-菲力浦-伊曼紐爾（Carl Philip Emmanuel）擔任宮廷音樂總監。國王（他本人是一位長笛作曲家）給了巴赫一個適合創作賦格曲的主題。巴赫立即將其發展為三部曲式賦格。後來，巴赫用自己的主題和賦格發展了這一主題，並將這部作品獻給了國王（Opfer--獻祭）。作品中的樂器大多沒有標明，而是由演奏者自行決定。戈德堡變奏曲》創作於 1742 年，以巴赫的學生約翰-戈特利布-戈德堡（Johann Gottlieb Goldberg）的名字命名。這位伯爵患有失眠症，戈德伯格用音樂讓他放鬆入睡。戈德伯格委託巴赫創作了這首《詠歎調與 30 變奏曲》。因此，我們將這部最偉大的變奏曲作品歸功於一位元貴族的生理缺陷"

原文簡介:
The Musical Offering dates from a visit of Bach to the court of Frederick II in Berlin, where his son Carl Philip Emmanuel was Court-Kapellmeister. The King (himself a composer maily for flute) gave Bach a theme suitable for a fugue. This was at once elaborated by him into a 3 part fugue. Later on Bach developed this with his own themes and fugues and dedicated the work to the King(Opfer---Offering). The instruments are mostly not indicated and left to players to decide upon. The Goldberg Variations date from 1742 and were named after Bach's pupil Johann Gottlieb Goldberg who was a chamber musician to one Count Keyserling. The count suffered from insomnia and had Goldber relax him with music to fall asleep. Goldberb commissioned the Aria with 30 Variations from Bach. Thus we owe this most magnificant of variation-works to an aristocrat's physical failing.
