This is a wonderful film with fresh material.

@keroine9 @infinitecomplete It is Liszt's transcription of Beethoven's Symphony No. 6. He also recorded Liszt's transcription of No. 5.

@infinitecomplete & @keroine9 So sorry, I just noticed your questions! I haven't been ck'g in Y/T as often as I usually do! Now, the answer is my all-time favorite of Beethoven's & GG's, too! He plays this better than anyone ever has [I think]! The title [for the search window] on Y/T: > Glenn Gould-Beethoven-Liszt-Symphony No.6 (excerpts) It's also known as "The Pastorale". The one, with Bernstein in the trailer, is by J.S. Bach (the "other German")! You two have good taste, BTW! ;-)

@DesertAnnie Hi. Which piece does Gould play near the end of the trailer? Is it the same BWV 1052? THANKS!

[infinitecomplete]

...Yes, who can identify which piece 2:00 is played near the closing of trailer?

[keroine9]

What is the piece right at the end that it closes with? So pretty!

Dear DesertAnnie:History repeat itself. I understand you perfectly BUT this video NOT is a language class, is about music, about Glenn Gould,about we love PIECES like BWV 1052(THAT was the question from Lillogambino..) and you insist, and insist,and insist....STOP PLEASEEEE..the genious is Glenn Gould, NOT you!

Here's a good movie you might want to rent, with [a younger] Jack Nicholson in the leading role of a rebellious, burnt out, classically trained pianist, from a wealthy family, who takes off from 'that life' & becomes a 'roustabout' in the Oil Fields. It's called "Five Easy Pieces" (a 'catchy title' referring to 5 easy [classical] pieces, that all classical pianists learn to play). Put the title of the film in Y/T's search window, & view many videos fr/the movie along with a great trailer!

(CONT. From Below):

You don't refer to a classical piano (or violin, or a cello) or any instrumental score as a "SONG" -- It is a "PIECE" to be played (not SUNG)!

Webster's definition for the (NOUN WORD): - Song - is:

(1) The art or act of singing; any VOCAL music.

(2) Something that is SUNG.

(3) An elaborate vocal signal produced by an animal, as the distinctive sounds produced by certain birds, frogs, etc. < We still call them SONGS (as a bird's SONG) B/C it is from the VOICE MECHANISM!

@contrasenano Sorry to say, but you didn't understand [or I didn't make what I was trying to say clear enough for you]! I DID NOT mean "A 'piece of music" such as a "PART OF" A CONCERT SCORE, etc./ What I'm saying is that in the classical music world, ANY musical score [with musical notes -- ♫♪ -- even if the COMPLETE score were to be 10 or 20 pages long] would be called "A PIECE" -- NOT A "SONG"! A "SONG" is anything that is SUNG vocally, using one's VOICE! (CONT. Please See Next Post):....
