Bach, The Goldberg Variations

Sticky Notes: The Classical Music Podcast

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.
