Description: The fact that the C major sonata was from an early period attributed to Bach gives you an idea of Goldberg's skill in and mastery of polyphonic technique; the extremely concentrated texture of these works follows on from the famous trio sonatas in Bach's Musical Offering. The much earlier Polonaises probably date from Goldberg's time as a pupil of W.F. Bach in the 1730s. Musica Alta Ripa. Original 1997 MD&G release.
