The Aria from Bach's "Goldberg" Variations - this is the initial 'aria' or air that establishes the harmonies for Bach's famous suite of keyboard variations. It's such a nice piece that it was one of the first things I did when I got my first score-editing package (many years ago) - so unfortunately the presentation quality of the score is rather poor. But it is a very engaging piece to play...
