This is the type of music Gould was born to play. Sweelink, Gibbons, Byrd, Bach the contrapuntal keyboard masters. And of course the second Viennese school.
Yes, Gould = Gould, but by his speed he misses some of the finer details of this composition. The perfomance of Pieter Jan Belder (on clavecimbel) is sublime
Thank you! That looks like an interesting book, I might have to get it in the future. I have managed to get a look at the contents of the "Works for Organ and Keyboard" on Amazon, and it looks like it is there as well
I'm sure you've perhaps already got your hands on the book. It is in there! It is an astonishing piece - and is surprisingly difficult; especially after one has heard Gould's Revelatory performance of it from his "live" Salzburg concert in 64.
@@emperorjimmu9941 In practice the Dorian mode is largely theoretical. For those unfamiliar, it goes: D-E-F-G-A-B-C-D. The F and B form a tritone, so the B is often flattened. And at cadences it is often preferable to play C-sharp in order to produce a leading tone. In other words, the Dorian mode is often hardly distinguishable from D-min. Bach's Art of the Fugue is a peculiar mix of modal and tonal procedures and thus has a unique sonority.
You're probably too used to his incessant humming in his Bach recordings that you think you can hear it here. I can't stand Gould mostly but I'm not sure I could hear his humming this time.
olla-vogala Hi. I would also like to get this score, too. I was looking at IMSLP for this Fantasia and I could not find it. There are other compositions; other Fantasies, but this Fantasia SwWV 270 is not. If you could send me a link or send me a file to my email, please, I would greatly appreciate it.

Gould is probably the most overrated pianist of all time.
This is one of those recordings that make one forgive Gould for everything else.... what a wonderful performance of a real masterpiece.
what an amazing composition!
I am almost certain Bach studied these pieces or similar when he wrote the Art of Fugue. The past was never past for him.

Bravo super
Da brivido!!
Does anybody know if the score for this is in Sweelinck's "Works for Organ and Keyboard" (Dover publishing)?

Perfect！2:38〜
is there a reason gould often plays F natural when the score says F#?

Im going crazy or i hear Gould humming?

@@marcfearby311 Yeah, i think i'm going crazy, it's weird because if i focus a lot i can hear it.
Don't worry, you were already crazy!
Can you send me the sheet music? Please, I can not find it

What Contraria means?
Counter-fugue, in today's terms.
If you look at the score, the second entry of the theme is in contrary motion. That's why Fantasia Contraria
@@rafiq2.038 Yup, i have already played the piece by now lol.
I wonder if played too fast
Yes, to fast and therefore Gould misses some of the finer details in this composition.
@@pietkonijn5522 Here is Gould playing it at a slower tempo: ruclips.net/video/yg0e-iube0k/видео.html&start_radio=1&rv=wmiagqoXaQY
@@charlotterose6724 Thanks, but....wait until the end of the piece !!
Could you link me the sheet music of this please?
Hmm, can't find it anymore, it was on IMSLP I believe... If you provide an e-mail address I'll send it to you!
