Italian concerto

Last night I went to watch football on TV. In my case, the emphasis is really on going as there has not been a TV set in this household since 2001. This, of course, leads to my not watching football, or any other sports for that matter, very often.

I celebrated Italy's success over Germany by playing the Italian Concerto by J.S. Bach. It is so enjoyable - despite the fact that I cannot play the piano (yet)! Bach is godly.

It took me close to an hour to crawl through the whole concerto. On CD, Glenn Gould needs only 13 minutes and 6 seconds for the same piece. There may be other artistic differences as well. Unterschiede müssen ja sein.
