The Goldberg Variations

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Kurt Rodarmer

The Goldberg Variations is a keyboard composition for harpsichord by Johann Sebastian Bach, published in 1741. The work begins with an aria and continues with thirty variations that systematically explore contrapuntal techniques, variation forms and virtuosic keyboard writing, and it sits among Bach's late keyboard output as an extended study in variation and counterpoint.
