I happened to be playing the recently offered Perahia piano recording
of the Goldberg Variations while my wife was in the room.  While under no
illusions of having converted her to greater interest in classical music
in general or J.S.  Bach in particular, I was pleased to discover that she
was taking notice.  She asked me who the composer was, when he lived, and
whether he was a happy man.  I gave her his name, his dates, and told her
that he had twenty children, several of whom became noted composers in
their own right.
