English Summary:

This transcription of Glenn Gould's 1981 landmark recording of Johann Sebastian Bach's Goldberg Variations presents in notated form crucial aspects of Gould's performance practices with regard to this piece, in particular, tempos, ornamentation, dynamics and articulations. Also included are Gould's fingerings and pedalings. The edition features a newly edited and engraved ""Urtext"" version of the Goldberg variations on verso pages, accompanied by Gould's realization on recto pages. Pianists and harpsichordists will delight in the careful research behind the preparation of this critical edition.

 

Glenn Herbert Gould
Canadian pianist (September 25, 1932 – October 4, 1982) known especially for his recordings of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach and his eccentric piano technique and personality.
He recorded most of Bach's keyboard works, all of Mozart's sonatas, all five of Beethoven's piano concertos and 23 of the 32 piano sonatas, the complete piano works and Lieder of Arnold Schoenberg, works by Sibelius, Bizet, Richard Strauss and Paul Hindemith.

 

Gould's embellishments of Bach's lines are written out as precisely as possible. Other markings indicate the recording's dynamics, articulations and tempos. And since this 1981 recording was also filmed, many of Gould's fingerings and pedaling choices could be observed and are included in the edition. --Anthony Tommasini, Chief Music Critic, The New York Times
