Product Description

J. S. Bach's work, The Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 are here arranged for Woodwind Quintet.

Originally written for Johann Gottlieg Goldberg, the Goldberg Variations were originally published in 1741 and may have been initially performed publically by Herr Gottlieb.

This work consists of an Aria and 30 variations.  I have included in this effort the Aria and Variations 1 through 5.  I will publish therest of the variations at a later date.  I think it sounds rather interesting for this ensemble and I hope you enjoy playing it.

The cover portrait, as you may have noticed, is not of either Bach or Goldberg.  It is, rather, of a little known younger brother of Johann Sebastian named Robert Feliux Bach.  Bob was neither a composer or musician, but was known as a champion mouser in Hamburg.
