        Standard edition of a subtle piece

        Besides the music, this edition includes interesting background information, including hints about tempi for each variation and discussions of the keyboard figures used in Baroque music.

        The best of Bach !

        The Golberg Variations are wonderful because the songs are bright and variated . They are a great teaching tool too . I sat at the piano , trying it out , when I realised that they were the best of BACH!
