J.S. Bach - Aria from the Goldberg Variations (Gould)
http://www.joolsscott.co.uk Bach's wonderful Goldberg Aria, played on a sunny Sunday morning (More) http://www.joolsscott.co.uk Bach's wonderful Goldberg Aria, played on a sunny Sunday morning in the Pump Room. There are now theories circulating that Bach's wife may have helped him write the Goldberg Aria and that she may have been the sole composer for Bach's astoundingly beautiful solo cello suites. The Goldberg Variations, BWV 988, are a set of 30 variations for harpsichord by Johann Sebastian Bach. First published in 1741 as the fourth in a series Bach called Clavier-Übung, "keyboard practice", the work is considered to be one of the most important examples of variation form. It is named after Johann Gottlieb Goldberg, who may have been the first performer. Johann Nikolaus Forkel: "For this work we have to thank the instigation of the former Russian ambassador to the electoral court of Saxony, Count Kaiserling, who often stopped in Leipzig and brought there with him the aforementioned Goldberg, in order to have him given musical instruction by Bach. The Count was often ill and had sleepless nights. At such times, Goldberg, who lived in his house, had to spend the night in an antechamber, so as to play for him during his insomnia. ... Once the Count mentioned in Bach's presence that he would like to have some clavier pieces for Goldberg, which should be of such a smooth and somewhat lively character that he might be a little cheered up by them in his sleepless nights. Bach thought himself best able to fulfill this wish by means of Variations, the writing of which he had until then considered an ungrateful task on account of the repeatedly similar harmonic foundation. But since at this time all his works were already models of art, such also these variations became under his hand. Yet he produced only a single work of this kind. Thereafter the Count always called them his variations. He never tired of them, and for a long time sleepless nights meant: 'Dear Goldberg, do play me one of my variations.' Bach was perhaps never so rewarded for one of his works as for this. The Count presented him with a golden goblet filled with 100 louis-d'or. Nevertheless, even had the gift been a thousand times larger, their artistic value would not yet have been paid for." The Goldberg Variations have been reworked freely by many performers, changing either the instrumentation, the notes, or both. Joseph Gabriel Rheinberger, transcription for two pianos, op.3 Ferruccio Busoni prepared a massively altered transcription for piano. According to Michael Kimmelman, "Busoni shuffled the variations, skipping some, then added his own rather voluptuous coda to create a three-movement structure; each movement has a distinct, arcing shape, and the whole becomes a more tightly organized drama than the original."[11] 1984 - Dmitri Sitkovetsky, transcription for string trio 1987 - Jean Guillou, transcription for organ 1997 - József Eötvös (musician), transcription for guitar 2000 - Jacques Loussier, arrangement for jazz trio Editions of the score Ralph Kirkpatrick.
