Abstract
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 March 21st – 1750 July 28th), born in Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany, was a German composer and keyboard player of the Baroque period. This paper focuses on the musical analysis of Bach’s “Goldberg Variations” to explore Bach’s “musical game” world from four aspects: historical background, counterpoint and fugue, musical analysis of “Goldberg Variations,” and the essence of Bach’s musical games. It aims to provide valuable insights for relevant researchers.
