The Art of Fugue is one of the many Bach masterpieces. I agree with Gould that Bach's final fuguem the unfinished quadruple fugue, has an eerie sense to it, a "good bye note" feel. ITs a true lost for humanity that this fugue was lost/never finished... the last true musical ideas of a genius during his death... what a legacy.

I came to this site after reading"A Romance on three Legs:Glenn Gould's Obsessive Quest for the Perfect Piano" (CD318)...I also saw "32 Short films about Glenn Gould"...Glenn was a musical genius whose recordings I treasure...His life however was sad....I cried after finishing the book and the film...but I treasure his recordings.

I use this clip as an introduction to AOF for people I am trying to gather to do a string quartet rendition. Gould's discourse is cerebral, and the musical examples are wonderful. What he says about the 14th fugue being an ever-expanding universe put words to a feeling I've always had when I play it. It is divinely inspired music that has provided a lifetime worth of love for me. I've never tired of it. There's always room in this world for yet another interpretation of this work.

Gould's understanding of Bach is so deep and beatiful. I'm really greatful that many of his ideas are recorded for us to listen and learn.

at cheroldt: This "Gould" did tour, was the first northamerican artist on tour in russia after the cold war, you must have been living on an elevator all this years. Bach wrote this music 300 years ago and still rocks on youtube and radio stations, let's see if we can say the same about Van Halen. Bach is the fundament of most of our music, no Bach, no Van Halen.

oh yeah we could go on for centuries discussing and discovering new things on Bach's music. The only thing you can say about Van Halen's music is "duh" .

"Bach is the fundament of most of our music" More accurate to say Bach represents the final product of five centuries of development in polyphony. After Bach's death in 1750 homophony began to triumph.
