Thank you for a version of this piece that is NOT played by Glenn freaking Gould. Jarrett is great.

@FernieCanto Kill the madness of the art and you will kill almost half of it.

@HarpsichordRox Yes, it is possible. I haven't thought in that porssibility. Thanks.

[HarpsichordRox]

@codonauta He is playing with the harpsichord at A415 which is a semitone down from A440. He is playing it in G major. Just Regular old G major

[HanEllipsis]

@zippyhat Baroque pitch is often commonly accepted as A=415, which puts Baroque-tuned instruments one semi-tone lower than modern A=440 pitch.

Beautiful interpretation - accompanied by beautiful artworks! Nice!

@SeanPerrin I'm on the phone now with JSB, he says "it's all good."...hehehehehhe

I love Keith Jarret, but he's taking too many liberties here. Is it so much to ask that the quarter notes in the left hand might line up with the right hand even once in the Aria? Lol.

[welltemperedpianist]

i'm sorry but ... i dont think one's supposed to be able to tap his feet to bach (this is 100% metronomical)

@RedCloudBeechWaveAhh

I set the link of the video with Ton Koopman talking about tunes in Bach Era in the informations about the video, above. Maybe the solution about the issue.
