I have the video and what he said before this was: I remember a very striking episode and that involved the art of fugue, we decided that we were going to include on the film the last fugue that Bach wrote. Glenn adored the piece, he thought it was the greatest piece of music ever written...and at a point he said to me: "he made a mistake, a contrapuntal mistake, had he lived he would have corrected it". I was stunned. Then this video commence.

Correction: It's the last part of Counterpoint XIV.
XV doesn't exist, Which makes me wonder why they put the text in the video.
The man refers to him as the ultimate interpreter of Bach's pianomusic. He was so good that he had ''Become Bach''. One with the music and the composer.

I am 16, I have a couple more years to wait, but the second I am able to take a gap year I will be on the next flight to Toronto to visit this man's grave. I've watched a fair few documentaries about him, and whenever they get to his death I never fail to shed a tear. How I would have absolutely loved to meet him.

most complex fuge ever....

No he died, he finely, after almost 30 years of playing piano, hit a wrong note and turned to dust, falling apart to the floor. ^^
I can't tell you how many times I've stood over that grave......
