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.
