    Glenn Gould conceives of himself as both the composer and performer of music. And that is where wonder and miracle of this man lies. Since he breathes life into everything he plays.

    曲を、自分の一部にしている感じ。美しいの一言。ベートーヴェンの魂が乗り移ってる感じがする。
     お金とか、地位とか、名声とか、権威とか、生活とかいうことを、全く考えずに、ひたすら曲の世界に没入しているのがわかる。

    damn...what a genius. plays a bunch of the fast passages slow and the slow ones fast...makes it an entirely distinct piece from nearly all the rest. This guy's left hand was better than anyone's is or has been since. Most of the time when you hear his reading you believe that must have been how it was scored

And usually, Gould was criticized for taking everything _too slowly,_ even in this comments section, someone said that this “wasn’t Beethoven” for that very reason!

      All of his Mozart sonatas are ridicolously fast and mechanical. And much of his Bach too. He fared better in Beethoven or Haydn, also because the 'fast and metheonomic' side was already taken and he had to explore other venues to distinguish himself. As Brendel once said, Gould never surpassed his edipic phase and always had to argue 'against' something, to do things differently. I find this fascinating and problematic at the same time.

Why do I even need to listen to his recordings when there is Schiff or Ashkenazy out there? Those who discuss Bach should first familiarize themselves with how "fast and mechanical" the harpsichord sounds. The music was not composed for the piano in the first place.

    Glenn takes some liberties. In Variation 4, I think my favorite of all of them, starting here at 1:27, Beethoven marks the melody, in the middle voice, staccato. Not Glenn. Still, I think Mister Gould taught me to love it. A worthy piece to take on, and nice results.

    La variación es tan propio a la creatividad como el fluir en la naturaleza, habitual en todas las artes y profuso en la creación musical de todos los tiempos. Juego, técnica, desafío y divertimento, la variación asienta saberes y alumbra imaginario. Nada extraño pues que Beethoven recurriera a ella con cierta frecuencia, a modo de andamiaje para articular conocimientos y superarlos. «Desde las primeras obras de Beethoven, la Variación se afirma como una de las formas más cercanas de su espíritu, de su naturaleza» (Boucourechliev 1963: 77).

      You can hardly call such a genius "spastic". Remember always that no doubt he was autistic, luckily for us.

      surprised not more people are mentioning those gyrations at the end. As well as being hilarious, they do show just how connected he is with the music, for anyone too musically deaf to hear it

      @@carolsims4037 His posture and chair are the reason he stopped playing in his 30s. There are medical conditions affecting the spleen (the organ his ribcage presses against when slouching) which can cause a person to wear coats everywhere, feel cold, suffer from various strange medical issues, etc... Many of which are common in those with jewish ancestry

    En général, (ce n'est qu'une vue personnelle,bien sûr),je suis un peu réservé (quoique de moins en moins...) quant aux interprétations par G.Gould de Beethoven; mais là,il y a une telle MAÎTRISE, une telle CLARTÉ, dans le domaine technique comme dans le domaine musical,qu'il me semble bien difficile de seulement imaginer mieux! Je trouve particulièrement réussies les dernières variations, "en forme de final" pourrait-on dire.

  • @francwaller5935

    Bach is the king of the Fuge, Mozart the king of Melody, Beethoven the king of Variationes, John Cage the King of beeing an inventor. But I do not want to miss any melody of Beethoven or Bach, any Fugue of the late Beethoven or Variationes of Mozart.
    I cannot imagine my life without listening to Gould or seeing his beaitiful perfomances.
    But woulldn‘t like to miss any other genius as well.
