Goldberg Variations: 7 (canary jig) (part 1)
Manage episode 412601161 series 2853212
In our second look at the monumental Goldberg Variations, Christian selects the beginning of the sprightly and innocent "gigue" (jig), a particular dance set here for an interplay between two hands. The jaunty rhythm of the dance is rather uneven; this leads us into a discussion about how music is naturally not even in this way (and when it is, it's too square). We discuss the Goldberg bass line which underpins the whole sequence of 30 variations and discover how it works with this one also.
In two weeks, Christian will return to this variation and get more into the weeds with particular notes.
