Introduction
The motivation behind this transcription and re-engraving of these Goldberg Variations
is a simple one; to make available to guitarists one of the great treasures of Baroque art. In that quest,
a single value has come to dominate this work
1) to preserve and render as accurately as possible the structure(s) of Bach's work in the context
of a modern guitar ensemble and a standard instrument.
The "standard" guitar being considered has 19 frets and is in dropped D tuning. ie. strings are
tuned DADGBE. The original key is preserved throughout the transcription, as it is best accommodated
and serves the original intent most faithfully.
Starting from this foundation, whatever resources were assembled that the structures demanded.
In general it could be stated that each voice that is present in the variation has its representative as a
single instrument in the ensemble. The resulting work therefore contains 13 variations for 2 guitars,
13 variations for 3 guitars and 4 for 4 guitars.
While the clavier is dissimilar to the the guitar in many ways, the Goldberg Variations are
unsurprisingly quite sympathetic to it. Both the clavier and guitar are plucked chordophones
that suffer the similar acoustic defects (strengths?) of volume and sustenance.
Most of the original structure(s) can be preserved through octave transposition when carefully
considered. In the few instances where this is not possible, alternatives were developed and
documented. Bach's instrumental works are of such a quality that they can often be considered
as "generic music": they transcribe well for instruments other than the target of its original
composition. That is mostly the case with the Goldberg Variations. To the extent that
there may be variations that are idiomatic to the keyboard, they have been accommodated as
much as possible and are included for completeness.
Guitar fingering is interperative and personal, particularly for music not initially conceived
for guitar, so this work is presented with no guitar fingering. All slurs are phrasing slurs and appear
as in the original.
Finding a reliable authority for Goldberg Variations, BWV 988, is problematic as discussed
by Erich Schwandt[1]. The source materials from which this transcription is derived are the
Bach-Gesellschaft Ausgabe, Band 3, the facsimile of Bach's own copy ('Handexemplar') of the
first edition, and the results of the OpenGoldberg project. These documents are in the Public Domain
and can be found here

Table of Ornaments
This table of ornaments is taken from J. S. Bach's "Klavierbüchlein für Wilhelm Friedemann
Bach", written for Bach's eldest son. It was meant to be schematic rather than literal.
Ornaments in this period were typically improvised. Even when notated the length of the
ornament and its articulation was dependent on its context and the performers preference.

Acknowledgements
This work is the product of a long chain of dependencies, beginning with the great master
himself, J. S. Bach. The technological and social advances that have accrued since that time
have allowed the creation and distribution of these Goldberg Variations on the scale that is now
possible. Of particular importance is the GNU/Linux operating system, the LilyPond engraving
system, the Internet, and the new model of network property upon which these things are
all dependent.
The transcription and engraving of these Goldberg Variations is the work of Steve Shorter.
Thanks is also due to Shayne Grey and Tim Smith for early error corrections, and to the
Guitar Society of Toronto Orchestra for creating an inspired and dynamic forum for guitar
performance. It was in that forum that these Goldberg Variations for Guitar Ensemble were first
imagined and performed.
This work is based on source material from the MutopiaProject http://mutopiaproject.org
Special thanks to sync.com
