The Goldberg Variations is a piece for harpsichord by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach. A harpsichord is like a keyboard that internally plays a harp. It was thought to have been composed for the Russian diplomat Count Keyserling as a sleeping aid who paid Bach with a golden goblet filled with coins. The composition was published in 1741 and consists of 30 variations.
