The Open Goldberg Variations is a non-profit project that created a high quality studio recording and typeset score of Johann Sebastian Bach's Goldberg Variations, and placed them directly into the public domain.〔Schaake, Jonathan. Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 1 June 2012, Nr. 126, S. 33〕〔Brown, Mark. ("Bach score and recording hits public domain following Kick-starter campaign"" ), Wired UK, 29 May 2012〕〔Beschizza, Rob. ("Open Goldberg Variations: free, open source recording and modern score of classical masterpiece" ), BoingBoing.net, 28 May 2012〕 By releasing an entirely free version of the classical masterpiece, the project aims to change a common problem: in theory, classical music is a common property, yet it is hard to find quality recordings of it online due to copyright restrictions on the performances. Open Goldberg Variations cemented a free, quality version into the public domain, making the music available for everyone and everything, including schools, universities, musicians, private persons and even commercial productions.〔Horchert, Judith. ("Projekt Open Goldberg Variationen: Musikaktivisten befreien Johann Sebastian Bach" ), Spiegel Online, 30. Mai 2012.〕 To ensure a high quality, the typeset was produced using open-source technology and an open peer reviewing process that allows everyone to edit the script and suggest improvements.〔("Open Goldberg Variations: the public review for the Open Goldberg Variations Project" ), Musescore.com, 2012〕 Open Goldberg Variations embraces open standards and coined the term "Open Source Bach"〔Douglass, Robert. ("Open Source Bach" ), Opensource.com, 5 April 2012.〕 in reference to the ideals of Open Source Software. The score and the recording were released into the public domain using the Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license tool〔("CC0: Creative Commons tool for releasing work into the public domain" ) Creative Commons, 2012〕 on May 28, 2012.〔("Goldberg Variationen: Johann Sebastian Bach als 'Creative Commons Zero'" ), Heise online, 29 May 2012〕 == Production == The creation of the new score was responsible for significant advancements in the state of the art for open source music notation software. Two rounds of public, online peer review were utilized to spot errors and inconsistencies in the new score, as compared to Bach's manuscript. 〔 Jamie Lughlin of ''The Dallas Observer'' underscored the need for a high-quality, public domain version of the score, saying "Unless a brand new score is crafted and gifted to the public, such as in this case, with all parties involved volunteering his or her time and signing over their rights to future kickbacks, the classics cannot be accessible to everyone."〔Laughlin, Jamie. ("Bach Goes Open Source: You Now Own the Goldberg Variations." ), Dallas Observer, 30 May 2012〕 Pianist Kimiko Douglass-Ishizaka supported the project by performing the 85-minute piece for the recording, including a five-day session in the Teldex Studio of Berlin. Piano manufacturer Bösendorfer supported the project by shipping their flagship instrument, the 290 Imperial, from Vienna to Berlin for the recording session.〔("Bösendorfer Sponsors the Open Goldberg Project" ), Boesendorfer.com, 18 May 2011.〕 Canadian record producer Anne-Marie Sylvestre volunteered her time to record, edit, and master the recording.〔Sylvestre, Anne-Marie.
