Disclaimer: this rating is possibly motivated by my disdain for Glenn Gould rather than my disdain for the works themselves.

4.0 excellentPikazilla | March 11th 23

all kinds of key rifflings for any type of listener or player, fast, slow, middling, short, longer, beautiful, melancholic. ii and vi are my particular favourites

5.0 classicmusichub | April 25th 22

Who would have thought that a collection of keyboard exercises could be this entertaining and influential? Mostly known as a strange curio in the Bach oeuvre until the Glenn Gould recording from 1955 became hugely popular, this is actually a fairly demanding collection of pieces, demanding some serious hand independence skills and occasionally requiring hand-crossing that brings to mind the writing of Scarlatti. The entire work is very Italian in how it approaches phrasing, actually, showing both Bach's ear for trends as well as how much the Scarlattis and Vivaldis of the world were impacting the "scene", if you will.
