Goldberg Variations

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Virginia Black

The Goldberg Variations is a work for harpsichord by Johann Sebastian Bach, published in 1741. It is an aria followed by thirty variations that examine counterpoint and ornamentation across varied keyboard textures, and it appears late in Bach's keyboard output where he applies learned contrapuntal devices within variation form.
