Glenn Gould did make other "little" changes in the playing of Bach's music. Here are two.</div>

<div>1. In "Bach's Keyboard partitas, a conversation with Glenn Gould" published in
<i>GlenGould, a publication of the Glenn Gould Foundation</i>, volume 4, number 2, fall 1998, page 52, Glenn relates to David Johnson that the B-flat major partita, which "contains a Minuet ... I play it as a straight minuet; relative to others , the tempo
is quite slow; the relation of Minuet I and Minuet II is a very strict one - Minuet II is of a slightly different poise and it also has a passage [the repeat of mm. 1-8] where I jump up an octave to give the impression of four-foot registration".</div>
<div>This conversation was first issued as notes to the 2-disc release of the complete partitas in 1963.</div>

2. Bruno Monsaingeon, in his 2006 video production "Hereafter", describes "an episode" during their earlier 1980 video collaboration, "An art of the fugue" when Glenn was about to record Contrapunctus XIV.</div>

Beginninng at 1:37:00, he states (1:38:36) "While playing it to me ... [Glenn said] 'He [Bach] made a mistake. Had he lived he would have corrected that mistake - a contrapuntal mistake'". Unfortunately the specifics of the "mistake" are not elucidated but
one assumes that whatever Glenn perceived it to be, he "corrected" in his performance.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Can we start talking about Glenn again, like, starting over? I searched out this mailing list in the last year, knowing it existed but never having been subscribed. There is nowhere else for such discussions, that I know of. I don't use Facebook.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Here's a discussion topic. Recently I noticed that the F# minor fugue of WTC I ends with a Picardy third when played by others. This turns out to be "correct", at least according to a cursory review. But Glenn ends it in the minor, which to me
sounds much better given the severity of what came before. It is one of my favorite fugues.

</div>
<div dir="ltr">Has anyone else noticed this? I am not particularly educated in theory or practice. Did Glenn make many other "little" changes like this? How big a sin is this from a purist's point of view?<br>
