At Home with Glenn Gould (1959) 4/9

[aculturemind]

I swear Tovell's mere acknowledgements makes him sound like such a dick.

Love Gould, he's all, ".....sound like Mendelsohn...even the French..."

[vinciano]

It's Contrapunctus I from Art of Fugue by Johann Sebastian Bach.

Is the snippet he plays at 3:47 a real piece, or did he just improvise it? I have had it in my head for days.

loved his improvisation at 3: 20
