Goldberg Variations BWV 988

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Ivo Janssen

The Goldberg Variations, BWV 988, is a set of keyboard variations composed by Johann Sebastian Bach and first published in 1741. Written in the late Baroque idiom, the work features an aria followed by a sequence of contrapuntal and ornamented variations that explore keyboard textures, rhythmic invention and formal permutation, and it occupies a central place in Bach's output as an extended study of variation technique and keyboard counterpoint.
