First performance by Mindy Cheng, April 2017

lyrics

Bach's Goldberg Variations begins with an "Aria" – vocal music for an instrument (the keyboard) without any obvious vocal qualities. On Glenn Gould's relic 1981 recording of that piece (as in many of his other performances), he can be heard humming along to his own playing.

“Meanwhile, music pounded / across hearts opening every valve to the desperate drama of being / a self in a song”. – from Autobiography of Red, by Anne Carson
