Glenn Gould plays J.S. Bach “Partita No.4” in D Major. This is the second part of the performance but in my mind it shows his brilliance quite well.
The justification of art is the internal combustion it ignites in the hearts of men and not its shallow, externalized, public manifestations.
The purpose of art is not the release of a momentary ejection of adrenaline but is, rather, the gradual, lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity.
Bach’s “Goldberg variations”- Aria, performed by the legendary Glenn Gould in 1982. I suggest you go read a little about him as he was quite quirky. :)
If you listen closely you can hear him hum along while playing.
