Another piano lesson today and I have made a lot of progress with the Art of the Fugue. She was very happy. And I got my teacher back into the piece. She was all pumped up with some new fingering that she thought was better based on her playing it again trying different things. I guess her kids do not play from the Art of the Fugue, only the Well Tempered Clavier.
I told her I listened to Gould play the Goldberg Variations from his 1981
Album. She thinks I should start on the Goldberg Variations and I will be ready for them after the Art of the Fugue.
I put up this link before but it is so good it deserves a repost. Here is Gould doing the first 4 variations. The Aria, which is the opening piece, is just too good.
