Goldberg variations

[sxsx]

I recently started trying to play Bachs goldberg variations, and I am mostly interested in variations 1 and 3, but it is insanely hard for me.
I have just a little more than 1 year of piano lessons, and I am not having lessons right now.
Should I just continue trying or this is omsething only for more experienced players ?

It's good that you have something advanced that you want to work toward, I wouldn't work on these without some easier Bach counterpoint studied. Like the Inventions and Sinfonias. And good attention to playing multiple voices in each hand.

Having a piano teacher help you through issues live and in person on a weekly basis really is best, though. Unless your goal is to be a Youtuber.
