Si può dire ciò che si vuole. Qui la musica diventa il miracolo che deve essere. Troppo veloce, troppo staccato, troppo personale... qui la musica vive di vita propria che è poi quello che ciascun compositore sogna, Bach per primo
Personally I find Gould's interpretations of the Inventions too fast. But I love his approach to ornamentatation and his 'detache' touch ... both right in line with the custom of Bach's day. Baroque music allowed for much more participation from the performer who was allowed and even encouraged to add or modify the ornaments. Gould adds one in the left hand opening note and two others in bars 7 and 14. And omits some in bars 9, 10 and possibly 11. I love this "participation".
Bach akurat pisał swoje utwory na klawesyn, który jak wiadomo nie miał dynamiki. Co ciekawsze oznaczenia agogiki są narzucone przez wydawcę nut, tylko po to, żeby młodzi pianiści, którzy nie są w stanie sami zinterpretować Bacha mogli go grać. Także więc nie piszcie że za szybko ponieważ być może Bach chciał, żeby to było tak grane.
@LazlosPlane Sorry, I think I was drunk when I wrote that message. Anyway, I intended that Bach wrote all his pieces for harpsichord and never for piano. So, in Bach's pieces did not existed crescendos, diminuendos, rallentandos and other exclusively pianistical effects. This is what I meant. Notice that i'm not a fanatic of the "right interpretation": i didn't said that the way Gould interpretated Bach is "right" or "wrong": simply that is far away from the intentions of Bach himself.
@bachinblack94 -@bachinblack94 - Oh, you can channel Bach? I believe that JS would have loved this interpretation of his masterpiece. Art is not stagnant. The modern piano did not exist in the early 18th century making it impossible to play his works the way that Glenn Gould was able to. I believe these interprtations are beautiful and amazing. Get over being stuck in the past and enjoy the playing of a truly remarkable genius. Bach probably played this piece many times differently himself.

@cwcascales Yes,Bach maybe would have loved different interpretations of his piece, but... When you wrote a musical piece, you do not only wrote a sequence of notes. You also must think at the timbre effect of the instrument, or the instruments, that you use... Music can be like a drawing, and timbre is the colour. Try to "change colour" of Bach's music is a good idea, but you must remember that your result is not the "original" Bach, is "Bach in another colour"... in black, maybe? ;)
I just had to comment here hoping that whoever put this playlist together reads this.For the love of God,the diatribe introducing the next video of the playlist by so called "Bach specialist" Cory Hall is absolutely nauseating.I have absolutely nothing against Mr. Halls musicianship.However the idea that any kind of music can be approached via a mathematical concept shows total ignorance of the way logical concepts were applied to art during the baroque era. Listen to Gould more and talk less!
@Cancrizans That guy is a total fucking retard. He has minimal musical ability and talks as though he was Bach's best frend. Complete imbecility from that moron.

On that guy's profile it has a list of people who have "offended" him. You know, musicians that disagreed with him. The arrogant imbecile has instructions of how to get off his ignore list. He wants a written apology. Lol, imbecile.
i like this boisterous invention, and i like the picture at 0.47 where Gould, slouched, is reading sheet music with a smile on his face, as though he is about to make some very perceptive comment haha (:
I've been trying to make sense out of this one for what now seems ages. tried it slow, tried it fast, tried it stacatto. Everything. At least I thought so. :)
