This short piece comes from the first suite (Clio) of his Musicalischer Parnassus published in 1738, a collection of keyboard suites each bearing the name of a daughter of Zeus. As a mentor to J.S. Bach and his elder by almost 30 years, Bach would later pay homage to this great composer in the first prelude of his own Das Wohltemperierte Klavier.
