Never forget to go back to that sometimes... But I'm wondering if Bach arranged this aria or if it's Goldberg's only, because it's my favorite part of the whole cycle ?
I have listened to many piano solo's in my life and after a while I got sick of them, but this, I've played over and over and I have never manged to gain sickness of this piano solo
This music appeals to me now that I've had enough of the raging noise, processed noise, make a dollar noise, that some call music. What a beauty of solace this music is!
@AmericanConcrete Amen to that and Bless you for that talk. This is soft music and a music to enhance the mind and nature. Sweet and watching the wind felt golden fields of wheat type music.
At first, I thought he was playing to slow, I was annoyed by his humming, and thought he had ADHD/Asbergers or something like that.
But now, I can't stand any other Well Tempered Clavier than Gould's version, and when I listen to other versions, I miss the humming.. He is really charming with that old chair,his humming, his unusual habits etc... He's just, awesome.
But, you know, music is a special part of high level thinking - it transcends all other human thought - to me at least. Gould's interpretation of Bach's music goes very deep - for me at least.
A nice rendition, but it seems to come to a total stop during some bar transitions. A tad to slow. I have heard him play it much better on other recordings.
@GazdeSnake From Wikipedia, "When Gould was around ten years old, he injured his back as a result of a fall from a boat ramp on the shore of Lake Simcoe. This incident is almost certainly related to his father's subsequent construction for him of an adjustable-height chair, which he used for the rest of his life. This famous chair was designed so that Gould could sit very low at the keyboard, with the object of pulling down on the keys rather than striking them from above......."
Goulds vocalization is a direct interpretation in his mind as to what the music should sound like. Most players will do this, Myself included. I play very well and have for 30 years. I have to hear myself hum the music as I play. This includes church organ music . Its a very good way to hear the music while just standing doing nothing. it allows you to memorise the music and how it is to be timed with every key note. Besides my friends this is Glenn Gould enjoy!!!! Brilliance in its best form.
If you listen to the 1600's children's folk song The Maid Freed from the Gallows, then listen to Gallow's Pole by Led Zeppelin you can sort of see how the steps can be made. Also men like Mozart where considered the rock stars of their era.
The Opera Die Entführung aus dem Serail and Le nozze di Figaro where considered vulgar and Don Giovanni was the 18th centruy equivalent of Tommy.
@Javjean ??? that means nothing... (it's like if you've said : "you with play go') say that in english, will be better and more understandable i think ^^
@youhibooo it's not compulsory, it's juste taste. Bach harpsichord/organ pieces played on a piano loose a lot of charms and goes against the intention of the composer.
@Manu404 Well, I prefer by far Mozart's concertos played on a piano than on a harpsichord. Don't you ? It's hardly played on harpsichord. Nevertheless I was certainly composed for it...
I've seen Scott Ross himself in a very interesting interview saying that it doesn't matter on which instrument you play ancient music, as long as you study and understand what it was composed for, what were the characteristics of the original instruments. After that, the instrument itself doesn't matter so much
I try not to hear this on YouTube, since I don't think the audio quality does justice to this piece; so I hear it on other media.
It is one of the most beautiful things ever to be understood by a person performing a piece of another composer. Gould & Bach are equally outstanding in my eyes (well, ears actually.)
Every word I write describing this piece is a word too much.
Still, as a depressed person who had his fair share of tragedies, I find this performance a reason to keep on breathing.
@kialamj yeah, the thing about Gould is he saw scores as a sort of outline of the possibilities, so he's playing what he sees as most important parts of the "notes." So it's probably in your score in some manner or another... (a great exercise would be to read along and try to figure it out!)
Hi. does someone know if exist a sheet music of this aria? I'm not a pianist, but the sheet music I have at home looks very far from what he's playin'...
@kialamj You can find his special score only in his museum. Gould is well known for his Bach music. He added trills here and there once in a while in a very elegant way. Most part of the music is intact according to the original Bach's score.
@mlcollins10 While I agree that Gould and Fischer are both examples of the very tops of their fields, the avid chess enthusiast in me feels the need to point out that Garry Kasparov quite possibly did equal Fischer's genius.

I didn't know this pianist... he is really good. But i've got the feeling that he would be better at playing Beethoven, wouldn'tt he? You shouldn't play Bach so "romantically", should you? In fact, I'd prefer hearing it on harpsicord. Go on, call me purist.
@caquillo76 In the style of the Goldberg Variations, you may be correct, but this movement is designed to be an improvisation by the virtuoso. Glenn Gould studied this work most of his adult life, and I think this is an incredible interpretation.
Glenn Gould is great, but he isn't old here. He's only 49! He would be 78 if he were alive today. He was an astonishing musical genius and a great human being too.
Why am I the only person in the world, it seems, who's not a particular fan of Gould's interpretation of the Goldberg Variations?
Like the opening aria here, or sarabande, or whatever, sounds like it's unnecessarily being dragged out, although I do very much appreciate the subtlety and nuance of his shading. Also, yes, I'm sorry, but the humming and singing along is distracting...
clarice:i have always wondered how good you taste. your skin is so soft and tight not loose as if you have aged like a 40 year old woman so i will just think about your flesh instead of eating it.
@SuhmMusic No, not the one put on vinyl. But it was done around the same time, for this video only. The DVD is available online, and thought the sound is a bit warbly, it's worth the $15 or so to see Gould play the entire thing through.
His piano, interestingly, has the front part removed (the part just above the keys. And nobody has been able to explain to me why.
I've always wondered what Bach would have thought of Glenn Gould and his interpretations. My prediction is that Bach would either hate them and dismiss them as sacrilegious insults to his music, or would receive them as a brilliant new perspective. I'm leaning towards the latter.
@Lerviop Do this: Play the aria with out repeats and with the arrpeggio-chord downwards insted of upwards. I think he also ads and ornament somewhere in the B-part, but I have missplaced my sheets, sorry.
@zazeify I hum while playing also, however very low and almost inadible, but it keeps me on track with my playing. drove my piano teacher to hell and back. I still do it however 30 years later
@Chopinina87 it seems to me that Gould rewrote many Bach pieces, in the sense that he put so much of the original spirit in them he could have been the author himself.
Well put, i-mouse! I have always regarded Gould as a sublime and supreme recreator of the music he plays. He is always true to the music, but in such an original and creative way that it seems to have been co-written by the composer and himself. A case of interpretation becoming recreation.
I believe that before spamming other videos with unrequested offenses, you should try and upload videos of which you have the copyright.... if you don't like a video you are not bound to watch it. By the way, no one who goes around like to offneding others can have a sensibility for music, no matter how many music videos you will post.
You know, a lot of people have complained about Gould's mumbling and groaning while he plays piano, saying it takes away from the music, but I think it adds to it. It makes it more...his. I don't think it would complete without it.

Me neither.
It doesn't bother me, nor do I think it adds to it.
It is as it is.

@chaosworshipper It's funny, his humming used to drive me to distraction. But now, I enjoy it.
Go figure.

Does Gould add music to this piece, as casals did, or is it completely what bach wrote.

No one ever understood Bach like he did.

@Chopinina87 it seems to me that Gould rewrote many Bach pieces, in the sense that he put so much of the original spirit in them he could have been the author himself.

@ingegnermouse
Well put, i-mouse! I have always regarded Gould as a sublime and supreme recreator of the music he plays. He is always true to the music, but in such an original and creative way that it seems to have been co-written by the composer and himself. A case of interpretation becoming recreation.

No one could play this piece like Glenn Gould, close your eyes, enjoy the music, and just forget about the mumbling, it set him apart.

I believe that before spamming other videos with unrequested offenses, you should try and upload videos of which you have the copyright.... if you don't like a video you are not bound to watch it. By the way, no one who goes around like to offneding others can have a sensibility for music, no matter how many music videos you will post.

You know, a lot of people have complained about Gould's mumbling and groaning while he plays piano, saying it takes away from the music, but I think it adds to it. It makes it more...his. I don't think it would complete without it.

¡!Qué pena me das! Por tu forma de redactar y tu ofensiva opinión, dudo mucho de que tengas la más mínima sensibilidad para apreciar la belleza.
