  • Ready when you are, Sergeant Pemory.

  • Ready when you are, Sergeant Pemory.

  • @apsod yeah. it's a theme and variation based composition, a baroque style. glad u pointed that out. :D

  • @fullargon Historians, music critics, and a few others I would suspect

  • How is it possible not appreciate angels' music?

  • @apsod Classical, Baroque,... who cares? This is just "timeless" music.

  • @apsod yes, this is ancient

  • @steppinout67 Gould adds his own ornaments and phrasings, as per the style for baroque music. For example, at 00:57 he rolls the chord downward in a manner that many subsequent musicians have emulated.

    That being said, I don't think anyone could ever play these variations anywhere near how Gould plays them, especially with regard to the independence of the voices.

  • @nuptualplumage It is widely true though

  • Why is the sheet music I found for this incorrect? It doesn't sound exactly like what Glenn is playing.
