Variation on Monday

Here is Variation 16.
According to Angela Hewitt:
It is in two sections: the first - very grandiose with running scales, brilliant trills, and sharply-dotted rhythms - takes us as far as the dominant key in bar 16. After the repeat follows a faster, fugal section as is customary in a French overture. Here the texture is much more transparent but still very orchestral, and we have two quick bars of 3/8 for each bar of the original harmony.
As always - written by JS Bach; performed by Glenn Gould
