BACH & GOULD

“I worked hard. Anyone who works as hard as I did can achieve the same results.” - Johann Sebastian Bach

Today I shall let two great musicians talk for me using music rather than words to say what is in my heart. Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) is my favourite composer, and what better interpreter of one of his keyboard pieces than Glenn Gould? I immerse myself in such music and words become superfluous, unnecessary, redundant.

Glenn Gould is playing here the Bach Partita No.6 in E minor for keyboard, its first movement titled: Toccata. Luxuriate in it and let the beautiful sounds wash over your soul.





Enjoy your weekend!
