The Open Goldberg Variations
To anyone wondering: public domain? Bach has been dead for how long? Of course there are already some available (recordings, and sheet music of course), a great database is:

Anything which makes these works more accessible is welcome. The Goldberg Variations are beautiful. Most famous recordings probably the two by Glenn Gould. There is even an interview in which they explore the differences between the two, and Gould opens up about some decisions he has made and why.<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaLoegXPpyk" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaLoegXPpyk</a><p>It's worth listening to, also to explore the Goldberg Variations a little bit in general. It also gives you a sense of Gould's "quirky wit". It's likely it was completely scripted by Gould in advance. There are of course many recordings of the Goldberg Variations, partial list here: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldberg_Variations_discography" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldberg_Variations_discograph...</a><p>Both of Gould's interpretations aren't in any way "standard interpretations". Fun fact: I was so used to listening to Gould's Bach interpretations back then, I immediately emulated his style when playing Bach, which my piano teacher found really annoying.
