Goldberg Variations

:For the novel by Nancy Huston, see The Goldberg Variations (novel).

Reception

The Goldberg Variations were once seen as a dry and rather boring technical exercise. Today, however, the emotional content and range of the work is increasingly realised, and it has become a favorite work of many classical music listeners. The Variations are widely performed and recorded, and have been the subject of many articles, books and analytical studies. The work is very often associated with the Canadian pianist Glenn Gould; his renditions of the Variations are two of the most famous classical piano recordings ever made.
