Bradley, I remember reading or perhaps it was on the videotape of the Art
of Fugue that outlined
a Gould phone call received by Bruno Monsaingeon. It was just before the
recording/taping of the
unfinished contrapunctus. As I recall, Gould indicated that he found a few
miscopied notes in the
counterpoint, and that surely, Bach, if given time, would have realized the
error in transcription.
