The Quodlibet as Represented in Bach’s Final Goldberg Variation BWV 988/30īach’s use of the quodlibet in ‘Variatio 30’ of the Goldberg Variations BWV 988 in many ways does not conform to the usual definition of ‘quodlibet.’ Bach, ever the innovator, goes beyond the limitations of the established form and function of the quodlibet and elevates it to new heights far beyond the usual inane, non-sequitur combination of incipits and snippets derived from popular folksongs and presented as humorous entertainment.
