Fascinating look into the mind of a genius. Imagine what Gould would do with today's technology; he'd be like a kid in a candy shop! Thanks for the upload.
Its great to see how devoted all these men were to the production of GGs vision of perfection in art or simply put to record the best of himself Grateful and thank you
Gould was the "director" in his life; and everyone else in it were like his cast members. His late cousin, Jessie, had said so, quite accuraltely, herself.
Hard not to notice and it's not exactly news - he was filmed on many occasions when a young man and, as he liked to "conduct" from the keyboard (even when, in concertos, there was a conducto), the films show him regularly "conducting" or waving his hand. His left hand, without exception.
@@robertczebotar7025 Always wondered if being left handed would be an advantage playing piano. Lefties live their whole lives having to figure out new and unique ways of doing things, and tend to be ambidextrous to a much greater extent than righties, so their dexterity tends to be more evenly developed.
@@jfan4reva We can play the notes for the left hand without thinking about it allowing us to focus on the more melodic, higher notes intended for the right hand.
A small glimpse into his mind about how he thought about music and what he thought Bach should sound like. This is probably the most precious bit of tape we have about this genius. Too short. His 2nd recording of the Goldbergs is one continuous recording because he wanted to control the space between the variations. Glenn you left us too soon.
No, lol, youre projecting. They are profesionales, engineers, they know the things that they've studied for, things that gould couldnt do, or else he wouldnt need them there. The one who would have no clue what to say is you. So better stop believing youre better than anyone, arrogant little smuck.
It's interesting though, it seems you can often hear the cut since the piano has slightly detuned between takes. I'm surprised they don't seem to mind.
I noticed that once in his recording of Beethoven's 3rd piano sonata, on the second movement. ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h6KDAcvEcIw.html Min 8:11)
@@AFE1312 Hmmm, I don't hear it! I do hear it in the F major Allemande in the English suites, however. Listen around 1:03: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TU6v_ujRink.html
@@jopjopjop If you listen to the first few minutes, you will notice that when he finishes playing certain chords that he maintains for a longer time, in the recording the sound of the piano hammers is heard returning to their position once he stops holding the keys. However, when I consider that there is a cut, the hammers are not heard (even you can hear them at 8:02). In the example of the Alemanda that you have put I cannot notice it, they did a great job in general.
Glenn: Ah, my playing's a little wild. Me: Yes, when it comes to music, you break so many rules you're considered a mad delinquent. Glenn: It could be faster. Me: What? *self esteem fades* Like that's the last thing it needs.
