They were originally commissioned by the Ambassador of Saxony for Goldberg to play for him during sleepless nights when he was ill or suffering from insomnia. So I started with this very simple, beautiful chord sequence. I went to record it in my house late at night, so it’s played as quietly as possible so as not to wake my two year old daughter.
