Re: Last concert



    Just in case anybody has been wondering, I've yet to find out what
    were the four fugues from the Art of Fugue that Gould played during
    his last concert.

Wasn't a complete-as-far-as-known program listing listed somewhere?
(Later than the one in Friedrich.)  On the NLC web site, maybe?
A personal ad in GlennGould might yield some results.

Anyway, it's a reasonable guess that 1,2,4 were three of them.  He
played those in seemingly every case where he played anything at all
from AoF.  The fourth one would not have been #14, since there are
statements that his performance with Bruno was the first time he played
rthat.  Maybe #9?  There is the recording of him doing #11 and #13 with
#9, but I seem to remember #9 coming up in other contexts.  He played #6
in a TV show on the harpsipiano (no known recording and I've never heard
it; it's not in the Sony videos).

Best,
Karl
