Goldberg-Variationen

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Wilhelm Kempff

The Goldberg Variations is a keyboard composition by Johann Sebastian Bach, published in 1741. The work comprises an aria and thirty variations that explore Baroque contrapuntal techniques, canonic devices and a wide range of keyboard textures, commonly realised on harpsichord or piano, and it is one of Bach's late keyboard compositions that systematically investigates variation form and counterpoint.
First released: 1st March 1994
