Goldberg Variations

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Robin Sutherland

The Goldberg Variations is a set of thirty variations for harpsichord by Johann Sebastian Bach, published in 1741. The work is built on an opening aria followed by variations that employ Baroque counterpoint, complex ornamentation, varied tempi and contrasting textures, and it appears near the end of Bach's keyboard output where he used the variation form extensively.
