	I would very much like to see this video.. does anyone know 
whether it is still in print or not? If so would it be in just any video 
store, or maybe a music shop...?

	It seems almost fitting for Gould to record the unfinished fugue 
from AOF... an unfinished fugue played by a performewr who never finished 
his career. And yes, it's very sad...
