Glenn Gould and Leonard Bernstein: Bach’s Keyboard Concerto No. 1 in D minor (BWV 1052)
This clip is absolutely sensational: as education, composition and in performance. Glenn Gould was 28 years old here. For the impatient, Gould’s performance begins at 5:08, but I strongly encourage you to watch Leonard Bernstein’s fascinating introduction. This film originally aired in 1960 on CBS Television as part of its “Ford Presents” series. What did you think?

I am a piano teacher and found this very interesting. This past week I administered a test to one of my students who has been working very diligently for 4 years. She started playing at age 42. She will find this to be a learning experience. Thank you for the variety you offer on Net Hugs.
