[f_minor] (Gould's grave)

[StudioDaCapo]

Hi all,

I'm quoting this from Mr. Kevin Bazzana's Wondrous Strange: 
"--bearing only his name and dates and the first three bars of the Goldberg Variations (the carver left off the ornaments)"

I love this book: wonderfully written.

Best,
SDC

I cut and pasted this text from?http://reocities.com/athens/oracle/3545/gould.html


"On Gould's gravestone (a small plaque actually), there is appropriately etched the first bars of Bach's Goldberg Variations. It was his signature piece, the recording which made him famous in 1955."


I have also read in different books/articles that the first few bars of the Goldberg are etched on his grave marker. So, I think we can safely say that ?that is indeed the case. I lived in Buffalo my entire life, a mere 90 miles from Toronto, and never went to see GG's grave. Now I have moved to California... I'll probably fly 3,000 miles to see it someday!


Cheers,
Anne

The first two bars appear so, but the third bar gives me trouble

It is the first four (I think) measures of the Goldberg Variations aria. I need a closer shot to see the number of measures, but for sure that is the music. 


Best,

Anyone recognize the music written on GG's tomb stone? I come up with a blank....maybe some of his own?
