Leave a review on Goldberg Variation 28:
Goldberg Variation 28
Composer: Bach, J. S.
Number of Players: 2Instrumentation: 2 Marimbas
Number of mallets: 4
Difficulty: Advanced
Unlike many of J.S. Bach’s other works, The Goldberg Variations were actually published in his lifetime (1741). This duet of Goldberg Variation 28 provides a flashy vehicle that features two players primarily playing with two mallets.
The trading interaction between the two players keeps this piece moving at a brisk pace that will prove challenging when factoring in some of the quick interval changes during 32nd-note passages.
