Never look at the trombones. You'll only encourage them.

Okay, they're variations.

But they're variations on a BASS LINE, not a melody.  Once you know that, you'll be much happier when listening.  And beware the descending chromatic tetrachord.

The Goldberg Variations were once seen as a dry and rather boring technical exercise. Today, however, they are seen as merely dry and rather boring...

Hello, I'm new to this forum. I love listening and playing (sight reading really) the Goldberg Variations. The first time I heard them was in Northern Ontario (Canada) at a friend's cottage (I was 20 years old). I was relaxing in the lake, just floating around when my friend put Glenn Gould's 2nd recording of the Goldbergs on and turned up the volume so I could hear it on the lake. It was incredible! I'm not sure what it is but I love to listen to it and I also get great satisfaction when I play these variations (even though I'm playing them very slowly). Maybe because this music is attached to the great memories of being up at the cottage, I'm not sure. Anyway, I know it's a bit off the original topic, I just can't help myself.
