It was written by a guy named Christian Petzold. The mistaken attribution was discovered decades ago, so we all ought to have learned the truth by now, but old misinformation dies hard. And now that I know the truth, it&#8217;s creating a dissonance in my brain, because I so strongly associate that tune with Bach.<\/li><li>Speaking of brain problems, a couple of weeks ago I completely forgot what time my music lesson was at. I left the house with the intention of getting there for 3:00, which hasn&#8217;t been the correct lesson time for months. It&#8217;s alarming when an important piece of information randomly falls out of your brain, and it could have caused me some trouble. Luckily, my husband commented on the fact that I seemed to be leaving earlier than usual, which made me wonder if something was amiss, and ultimately I figured it out before I showed up at my teacher&#8217;s house a half hour early. All&#8217;s well that ends well, I guess, but I am left wondering if more similar occurrences (what some would call &#8220;senior moments&#8221;) might be in the offing. Ugh, I hope not.
