Goldberg Variations / Art of the Fugue

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Barbara Harbach

Goldberg Variations / Art of the Fugue is a paired release of two Baroque works by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in 1741 and circa 1751 respectively. The two pieces juxtapose an extended set of keyboard variations with a tightly structured compendium of fugues and canons, together illustrating Bach's exploration of variation technique and contrapuntal writing and occupying a central position in the Baroque keyboard and contrapuntal repertoire.
