Goldberg Variations

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Stuttgarter Kammerorchester

The Goldberg Variations is a composition for harpsichord by Johann Sebastian Bach, published in 1741. Structured as a theme followed by 30 variations that range from intimate ornamented passages to intricate contrapuntal and virtuosic writing, it exemplifies Bach's late-Baroque approach to variation form and occupies a central place in the development of keyboard repertoire and performance practice.
