He recorded 13 bagatelles (7 of op. 33 and 6 of op. 126) It is one of my favorites of his 78 recordings. There is such Lift, Lilt, and Life in his sound - one that ONLY Glenn Gould is capable of producing. Of these five, my favs are No. 1 in E flat and No. 3 in F major. SHEER PERFECTION!! Listen to the op. 126 ones - they are simply sublime.
Gould's performance has great charm. Humming and singing come with the package which was inculcated when he was a small child and seems throughout his career to signal enjoyment and engagement. If the humming blocks your concentration and enjoyment of Gould's performances, there are many other superb pianists who play without uttering a peep. As for myself, I'll take Glenn Gould with all of his idiosyncrasies because his like will never enter the musical universe again.
Not many composers wrote Bagatelle. But it is one of the abstract names of music. Other than Beethoven, the New Vienna School composers have famous songs. Linguistically, it means "nothing." However, Beethoven's "Six Bagatelles Op. 116" is a work after the later piano sonata. The atmosphere is like a Diabéry Variation.
The humming is absurd. Gould was obsessive about making recordings that were as close to perfection as he could get. Why did he mar so many of his performances with this distracting, annoying humming?
Staccato left hand accompaniment instead of legato as marked, incorrect phrasing in right hand throughout, chords played quietly instead of sforzando as marked, super-safe tempo posing as a novel interpretation, basically he does everything wrong in Beethoven.
+MrPaevo mr easily peeved off....go back to 50 cent and taylor swift, or other garbage that, perhaps, you appreciate...take your musical know-nothingness to other venues, please
I'm doing a study on this piece for a kinda-thesis work at school. I'm going back with the true answer about the execution needed for this Bagatelle N.1 in some months

I love the way GG treats these. Could listen to them all day.
Love Gould. I enjoyed his playing a lot . thank you.
I do not know the assessments of different individuals, but personally I especially like this performance.
감사합니다.

my favorite bagatelle and favorite interpretation too.
When I used to play this bagatelle I always tried to be inspired by Gould interpretation :)
Espectacular!!
とても良い演奏ですね♪
グレングールドさんの演奏は好きです。
grazie ancora
Maybe with Richter the greatest of all pianists
글렌굴드의 허밍소리가 함께여서 더 편안하고 듣기좋아요♡
beethoven é imenso, quando sai das magníficas sonatas é alegre e simples como um passarinho...
Grazie
Not gonna lie, but a few of the bagatelles were very well done...
thank you for not lying
He plays it rather like a Sibelius program.
3:54
Da dio..
I'm finding his playing a little wooden here.
No; it's your head that's wooden!
Жаль, что нельзя убрать музыку и оставить одно пение, чтобы насладиться вокальными достижениями Гульда.
The only pianos tuned correctly are the ones in America.
Larers ktsel ek.

I have to agree.
Maybe he tried his best to play without humming. I would call it a humman defect.
He got tired of playing too slow and played the third movement too fast lol
:)
Jobin Borhan which third movement? ( It is not a sonata)
Camilo Cuesta he is referring to the 3rd bagatelle. It's played too fast
What the f are you saying?
I wish he'd stop bloody humming
me too lol

Yes, and it's annoying as hell.

+MrPaevo you are wrong and do not grasp the overall conception for all your visceral spurious complaints. get lost....., lightweight.
Great "rebuttal," moron...

He plays it too much like Bach... Typical Gould.
you mean he plays it like Gould
Exactly. :)
Bart Watts: Just thinking the same thing.
yes, but nobody cares about the thousands of pianists who play Beethoven like Rachmaninov ...
are you kidding???
