Goldberg Variations - Variation No 5 - BWV 988 Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) tabbed by Tim Ivanic - ******************************************************************************** thanks to Oliver Goodbourn for the following changes (November 2020) - "It seems to me that there are a number of errors in the second half of the tab. I have had a go at making some corrections, using this video with music shown as a reference in some places: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzkwmhT6oNY Below are listed the changes that I remember making ... I am not 100% sure about most of them, but it seems a bit closer to me." Bar 16: renumbered to 17; subsequent removal of duplicate bar brings numbers back into line at bar 22 Bar 19: change to lower voice, latter half of bar Bar 20: first upper voice note tied from bar 19; 3rd note of lower voice changed Extra, incorrect bar 22 removed Bar 23: (last note) Bar 28: removed a plucked note that should be tied
