For two-manual harpsichord: an aria, thirty variations and a return of the aria. The variations are based chiefly on the aria's harmonic framework and bass.
The original title is Aria mit verschiedenen Veränderungen. The familiar Goldberg title is later. First published in 1741 as Clavier-Übung IV; the precise period of composition is uncertain.
