Glenn Gould - Aria

on: August 22, 2011, 03:27:38 PM

At the little run shortly after 0:50 , what does Gould do?
Does he plays the arpeggio backwards , this is not how i learnt it.
Thanks for replies.

Yes. He starts on the highest note and arppegiates downwards. I know Barenboim also does this, Hewitt might also, but I'm not sure.

He has such a wonderful touch.

I think he plays it in the other direction in the Final Aria at the end of the variations.

All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more
