J. S. Bach Aria variata alla maniera Italiana

Aria variata alla maniera Italiana (Air varied in the Italian manner) in A minor, BWV 989 is a keyboard work by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1709. It consists of a simple theme and ten variations, each of them in binary form (two sections, both repeated). The work was probably created for harpsichord, but there are numerous recordings with other instruments, notably piano and organ.

The music of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750) is one of humanity's greatest treasures. It is unsurpassed in its expression of profound reverence for life, and in its depth and diversity of ideas and feelings. It provides boundless joy to listeners and performers.
