Bach, The Goldberg Variations

In 1741, Bach published a piece called “Aria with diverse
variations.” Little did he know that the piece would become one
of the most beloved and nearly mythical works in all of Western
Classical Music. The piece I’m talking about is now referred to
exclusively as “The Goldberg Variations.” Today we'll talk
through these remarkable variations, and as a special bonus, I
was joined by Jeremy Denk, Mahan Esfahani, Inon Barnatan, and
Vivian Hornik Weilerstein for a virtual panel discussion about
the Goldbergs.
