Harpsichord Variation Sets
Six keyboard variation sets. BuxWV 245 is a Courante zimble (simple courante) with eight variations in A minor. BuxWV 246–247 are two separate aria sets in C major (10 and 12 variations respectively). BuxWV 248 uses a theme from Lully. BuxWV 249 is a compact three-variation aria in A minor. La Capricciosa (BuxWV 250) — 32 variations in G major — is the most ambitious, and Bach later used its theme for his Canonic Variations BWV 769.
