Could it have been that Forkel and the early nineteenth century felt that the Goldberg Variations lay outside the usual demands of commissioned works and music for special occasions and that they were designed to play a dual and far more ambitious role, thus giving the work a unique position in Bach's output: at one and the same time, to complete the cycle of the four collections of the Clavier Übung (Keyboard Exercise) and to constitute the starting point of the great 'speculative' compositions, the Musical Offering, the Canonic Variations and The Art of Fugue? Midway between ars and scientia, as Alberto Basso remarks, between musica pratica and musica theoretica, Bach completed his systematic exploration of writing for the keyboard and began his musical 'testament' with these works which are entirely centred on the ideaof 'variation' taken in its widest sense, that is to say the complete exhaustion of all the possibilities of a theme - and where a preponderant place is given to polyphonic writing and, more particularly, to the canon.
