GOLDBERG VARIATIONS BWV 988 complete PDF

Two guitars can certainly replace a harpsichord, and the rapid yet gentle fading of plucked strings is
very compatible with the habitus of the baroque keyboard instrument. An arrangement of Bach's
Goldberg Variations for two guitars is therefore more plausible than some of the previous attempts
at adaptation for winds, strings or even accordion. Transposed to D major, which corresponds better
to the tuning of the guitar than the original G major, the famous "30 veraenderungen" of the aria,
which is so worldly, are realized very audibly; the arrangement is always skillful and makes all polyphonic
ramifications unobtrusively audible.
