Re: [F_MINOR] GG and the Concerto after A. Marcello



He mentions it in the same sentense as "Bach, one of the greatest transcribers of all time" in the State of Wonder Interview (I think).

>In "The question of the Instrument" GG says to Moinsangeon he doesn't actually like Bach's italian pieces (i.e. Italian concerto, Cromatic Fantasy) and that "those pieces are the kind of music Bach's sons would like the old man to compose". Gould argues that pieces like the Cromatic Fantasy are intended to serve and to exploit the sonority of the instrument per se and and do not correspond to Bach's natural musical language. He also says ironicaly  that the Cromatic Fantasy could serve as sound track of a Hitchcock movie :)
