Under the modest title of Klavieriibung (keyboard exercises) Bach gathered together and published some of his finest clavier music. The collection appeared in four separate parts: the six Partitas in 1731; the Italian Concerto and Partita in B minor in 1735; the four Duetti, some chorale preludes, and the Prelude and Fugue in E flat in 1739; and the Goldberg Variations in 1742. The full title of the work is as follows: ' Keyboard Exercises, consisting of Preludes, AJlemandes, Courantes, Sarabandes, Gigues, Minuets, and other galanteries, composed for the recreation of art-lovers.'
