Glenn Gould / Bach's Inventions

on: November 08, 2004, 02:07:30 AM

I was just wondering if there are any videos of Gould playing the Two or Three-Part Inventions (or both)?

I don't know if there are videos, but if you go to the glenn gould archive (google will get you there, i can't remember the link) you can listen to some real audio files of Gould testing pianos, playing through various inventions and sinfonias.

It's really quite fascinating.

Why did you open this? If it took him 6 years to find youtube (did it even exist in 04?) he'd probably not understand it anyway...

“Practice makes perfect” is a common mantra for any pianist, but we all know it’s an oversimplification. While practice often leads to improvement, true perfection is elusive. But according to recent research, a robotic exoskeleton hand could help pianists improve their speed of performing difficult pianistic patterns, by overcoming the well-known “ceiling effect”.
