Goldberg Variations
73Worth an evening.
Columbia, under Sony. Bach, played as if the room had to be worthy of it.
The review
Columbia released the 1955 record. Sony holds Columbia. Gould was young and already unwilling to play Bach as furniture. The aria returns at the end, the same and not the same, which is what a life of practice feels like.
Put it on when the house is skimming. It will not cooperate.
Journal
Keep Goldberg Variations in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 73. Yours can differ.
The glance
Household and Republic are the thin ones.
Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
A Change Is Gonna Come
85 instead of 73
A Change Is Gonna Come is still a music song, and it scores 85 instead of 73. What you gain is republic: A citizen, refused, who still believes the country can be corrected.
The eight
- 10Industry
Thirty variations, and he does not coast.
- 3Household
No story of a house. A discipline a house can keep.
- 8Piety
Order, treated as worth a life.
- 7Courage
He plays in the open, humming, unprotected.
- 4Republic
A standard other players still measure against.
- 9Temperance
Nothing extra. Even the hum is his, not a show.
- 8Truth
He does not sentimentalize the math.
- 9Stewardship
A thing to grow up near, the way you grow up near a well-built table.
