Prelude from 1st act of Die Meistersinger. Composed by Richard Wagner. Piano transcription by Glenn Gould Recorded in January 1974 Now with Closed Captions! Note: If you want to translate the captions for your local language using the automatic translation, please select "English: Without German Accent" at the "Translate from" field. Why? Because Glenn Gould speaks with German accent on this video, and change some words. For example: instead of "them", he speaks "zem". If you chose the caption track "English: Original" to translate, the automatic translator will get confused and probably many errors will appear.
