  • Did Gould actually play the piano when they filmed?

  • im not entirely sure but probably not, it might have just been synced up

  • nice but annoying that you never see the whole piano I hate Sweeps of small parts of something to keep the viewer arrgh

  • yeah it is a bit but its good you can still see things a little cose up,at the end you see the whole thing,:)

  • The piece is Bach's Prelude in C minor, BWV 847.

  • Not that I'm affiliated, because I'm not, but someone is having an estate sale in Dayton ,OH on 1/13-14/11 with a Model M 1918 Steinway. I'm an organ player so I'm always looking for a nice theater model. Ah' we organ players have it made! We can have a whole collection & as long as it's not a Hammond B3 we can add to it for nil! This week I got a free Baldwin HT2 theater organ w/ full 32 pedal board, and a free Wurlitzer 4500 (AKA Mr. Fantastic in the Wonderful World of Wurlitzer on youtube).

  • @pookiehohn From what I know, he really only played on older Steinways. The hammers on this one are brand spanking new, along with the video quality itself. It doesn't seem old enough.

  • yeah, not likely at all, at the piano store yesterday there was a 1902 steinway model B for a little over $50000

  • Ah, yes! The famous CD318 which has brought so much joy and pleasure to my ears these many years. So much so that any other performance of Bach besides Gould just sounds wrong and inappropriate to my ears. Old fogey that I am, I will die with my sins!

  • i thought the same thing,you can buy new for a hell of alot less

  • I call bull.

    There are older Steinways owned by famous musicians that don't even break $1m. The most expensive Steinway that sold to date is the Alma-Tadema which sold for $1.2m at an auction.

  • BWV 847

    I would play it a bit faster with dynamics.
