Italics in shortened music title

Hi. I'm writing a piece on Bach's Goldberg Variations, and want to refer to it as "the Goldberg" as a shortened form (without quotation marks, of course!). Would it be correct to keep the word Goldberg in italics?

beardog Would it be correct to keep the word Goldberg in italics? I would do that, yes. But as a shortened form, why the Goldberg , and not the Variations ?
