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!</span></font></div>

<div></div>It is the first four (I think) measures of the Goldberg Variations

the music.
