Glenn Gould spielt J. S. Bachs Goldberg Variationen
I still think Goldberg variations and art of fugue are two of the most
difficult piano pieces ever to be played. It's by far more difficult
than most of the Chopin/Lizt pieces where endless practicse could make
it word one day. In these pieces it's about the treatment of different
melody lines, most pianist screw up more or less when the notes get very
dense and you can't hear the interaction between the melodies. It comes
down to technique. Did you ever realise that in Bach, you can easily
distinguish Gould's playing from others? Basically because no other
human can ever produce the sound he does in these two pieces, whereas if
you hear Chopin/Lizt/Beethoven it's not easy to disginguish each
person's playing at times. This simply shows how difficult these pieces
are, if you were to produce the sound of Gould, for example.
