Variations Goldberg, BWV 988

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Scott Ross

The Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 is a keyboard composition by Johann Sebastian Bach, published in 1741. Musically, it comprises a theme and thirty variations for solo harpsichord that explore contrapuntal devices, varied dance-derived rhythms and virtuosic keyboard figuration, and it occupies a distinctive place among Bach's mature keyboard works and in the Baroque variation tradition.
