In addition to the unique architecture and counterpoint of the cycle, Bach's idea of the Goldberg Variations includes exploring the virtuoso possibilities of the harpsichord. In Carsten Wiebusch's arrangement, the potential freed up by the consistent use of the pedal is put to joyful use, the colorful possibilities of the organ come to the fore and the structures of the work become transparent. In addition, the depth dimension of the organ sound unfolds tension throughout the entire work.
