Book excerpt: Originally published in 1967, in this book the author delves deeply into the fascinating field of Bach’s music and the reasons for his ‘borrowing’, and adaptation within his oeuvre.

"This book is brilliant and important."--Clavier "All keyboardists performing classical repertoire can greatly benefit from Kirkpatrick's scholarship, dry wit, and stubborn dedication."--Keyboard "That Mr. Kirkpatrick's extraordinarily perceptive mind knew the subject matter thoroughly is beyond dispute. . . Valuable insights into the analysis, teaching and performance of all Western music, especially Bach's monumental Well-Tempered Clavier."--Arthur Lawrence, The American Organist "We are fortunate to have this book by Ralph Kirkpatrick. . . From it we gain insight into the musical mind of one of the outstanding performers of our century."--The Music Review "The real matter of the book is good old-fashioned musicianship."--Denis Arnold, London Review of Books

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Goldberg Variations, BWV 988, are a work written for harpsichord by Johann Sebastian Bach, consisting of an aria and a set of 30 variations. First published in 1741, the work is one of the most important examples of variation form. They are named after Johann Gottlieb Goldberg, who may have been the first performer.Rather unusually for Bach's works, the Goldberg Variations were published in his own lifetime, in 1741.

The edition contains various printing errors. Nineteen copies of the first edition survive today. Of these, the most valuable is the "Handexemplar," discovered in 1974 in Strasbourg by the French musicologist Olivier Alain and now kept in the Biblioth
