This is an interesting piece of history. Here is Glenn Gould playing JS Bachs Goldberg Variations, one of Bachs greatest works for keyboard. Its incredibly beautiful, but one interesting thing is that what you see scrolling on the screen is a copy of Bachs original handwritten manuscript. It is remarkably readable. Bach wrote hundreds if thousands of pages of music. Very little was actually published in his lifetime and it was played by use of handwritten scores. It seems rather fortunate that he had these excellent penmanship skills. https://youtube/watch?v=jWshUm0Juxk
