He is not waving at the audience. I doubt that he even had the audience on his mind at all when he was playing.

Whatever the last notes wroten by JSB (it's an other problem), who can explain me:
1) Why to cut this video at 2'12 while the identic recording of jasonhau finishes at 2'38 ? 2) Why all the last part of the pictures (finishing at 2'38 on the true video) is sticked on music finishing here at 2'12 ???
So, the last picture shows at 2'12" the arm movement of 2'38, the piano continuing to play without Glen !!!
thanks

Also, for some reason YouTube broke this video. It's supposed to be 2:37 but it cuts short and the video is playing faster than the audio track.

The thing about this piece (and a lot of Art of Fugue - but especially this) that strikes me is how completely different it is from Bach's other works. I like Gould's analysis of it best (which is on YouTube somewhere) in which he says there's bits that reach back further into the early Baroque, and parts that easily reach beyond 100 years ahead of its time into chromaticism and bits and pieces that could *easily* have been written by an early Schoenberg.

@fiandrhi There's a certain edition of printing of this piece where it stops abruptly like this, apparently. I can't be arsed to find the source, but that's what I've heard. And what makes sense.

@lupocephalic Unstable in what way?

@thehissingstick I love this comment. I would like to add that, most geniuses don't become geniuses. They are born geniuses. They, "become" or fully realize their genius through hard work.
Sometimes for an artist, the only difference between insanity and geniality (as in genius) is success....

you don't become a genius for loving what you do; you become a genius for being able to express what you love so completely, so that others can enjoy it.
