Jeremy Denk, whose latest album, a recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations, was released earlier this fall on Nonesuch Records, was featured on PBS NewsHour's Art Beat. Denk spoke with the show's chief arts correspondent, Jeffrey Brown, about the new album and its companion DVD with video "liner notes" of Denk demonstrating passages on the piano as he explains certain details of the iconic piece.

In their conversation, Denk describes the Goldberg Variations as "one of the most beautiful music lessons in history" and "the largest, most complex jazz riff in the history of music, maybe ... where you take the harmonies underneath a tune and then you improvise over them."
