Variation 2 can be played comfortably on one keyboard. It is in 2/4 time, 3 parts and has 2 repeats. I've re-grouped the notes in bars 11 and 16 as shown here.
This score with fingering suggestions can be downloaded as image files from my piano facebook page: / paulbartonpiano
Variation 2 can of course be played at many tempos, I've chosen 88 a crotchet beat. There are numerous ornamentation possibilities for this variation but I'll save this subject for separate video specifically on ornamentation in Goldberg Variations as a whole.
Here is Variation 2 in an overhead keyboard view. I begin with a detached touch then repeat with a legato touch, both times.
When practicing a variation separately, occasionally run it together with the preceding variation, like this.
Continued in Variation 3

Good job

[@jeffirwin7862]

Thank you! As a self-taught pianist, I was wondering how the heck am I supposed to play the sixths in the right hand at the end? I was thinking real pianists must have some secret trick, but no -- it's just a lot of notes in a row all played by the right thumb.
