In 2009 the score used for Solo on Bach & Glenn (2008) by Albert Quesada was rewritten and passed on to 2 other dancers. They learned the movement score, created their own interpretation and performed it with the soundtrack over a period of 2 weeks in Brussels.
After three months of practice (each on their own), they gathered for a month, and composed a piece having both new interpretations of the score as a starting point.
The duet Solos Bach & Gould offers two different views on a written score with the sound of Mr. Glenn Gould talking and playing.
