It's most likely Bach since that was his thing but which one, not sure. Sorry.

FYI: The piece being played at the beginning of this "Genius Within" clip, is an excerpt from Ludwig v. Beethoven's "Pastoral." Put these words in YouTube's Search window & you will hear more of it:

Glenn Gould - Beethoven, Liszt, Transcription of Symphony No. 6.

It is very beautiful, isn't it?! I really love this by GG, above all others!!
