Page "Goldberg Variations" Paragraph 47

In the first section, the left hand accompanies with a bass line written out in repeated quarter notes, in bars 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7.

This repeated note motif also appears in the first bar of the second section ( bar 17, two Ds and a C ), and, slightly altered, in bars 22 and 23.

In the second section, Bach changes the mood slightly by introducing a few appoggiaturas ( bars 19 and 20 ) and trills ( bars 29-30 ).
