The Goldberg’s are seriously, SiriusLee, difficult to perform in one sitting. Not the playing the notes so much - you can pretty much sight read each variation, - but doing so in a way as to shape a cohesive arc. (think 1955 vs more organic 1981 recordings by Glen Gould) Art of Fugue likewise.

Oh thank you mairdie! I’m taking some time out from the unfolding onslaught of news these days.
I REALLY loved hearing the Bach, and seeing those lovely things.
I think out of the entire excellent display, the most poignant one, which moved me the most, was the picture of the black man by a half-buried bigger-than-life statue of a pharaoh in a desert setting. The man has his head near the lips of the Pharaoh. [It can be found at 1:43.]
I don’t know why it struck me so strongly, but as much art does, this image conveys a lot of possible different meanings and scenarios - all of them which I’ve looked at are fraught with emotion.
Thanks so much for your work. Please continue to make these lovely jewel like clips!
