J. S. Bach's "Goldberg Variations" were first published in 1741 as an Aria and 30 Variations. It is a large work, taking about 45 minutes to perform even without repeats. It was probably written with a two manual harpsichord in mind as it has many instances of hand crossing which are difficult on a one manual keyboard, but simplified with two manuals. Perhaps due to this tendency, the pieces are often in three distinct parts which make it a rich source for transcribing for a trio of woodwinds. This setting by John Gibson is for 2 Bb Clarinets and 1 Bass Clarinet. Due to its great length you may consider leaving the repeats out as well as deciding to play only certain variations as a matter of keeping to performance time limitations. I suggest that the beginning aria definitely be included, however. The audio sample is of several variations. YOU ARE PURCHASING THE PARTS ONLY HERE.
