Goldberg-Variationen, BWV 988

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Martin Stadtfeld

Goldberg-Variationen, BWV 988 is a set of keyboard variations by Johann Sebastian Bach, first published in 1741. The composition comprises an opening theme followed by a sequence of contrapuntal variations that explore Baroque forms, ornamentation and keyboard technique, and it sits among Bach's late works as a notable example of his systematic approach to variation and counterpoint.
