You didn't get the joke? It was a joke. He was doing a parody of Mozart . Glenn was blessed with perfect memory and perfect pitch... and god knows what. I only want to say........ Thanks Glenn......... does your mother know you;re a Canadan? Long live Glenn.
Every pianist is preaching singing. But all they can is yampampam for stacatto/rhytmical and teeeraaaraaaareeeraaa for legato/cantabile. Glenn Gould could really sing his parts way more sophisticated than most pianists could do. Great musical mind, and the real scat master of classical piano music
G: You've said some very derogatory things about Mozart yet you make a broadcast, what is your aim? GG: To prove those derogatory claims. This man...I must say...that caught me off guard!!
OMG,both Glenn and Elvis are my favorite!! December 3, 1968 Glenn Gould plays Mozart Sonatas on CBC Tuesday Night. (On that evening, Gould was up against Elvis Presley's 1968 Comeback Special for those who could pick up NBC television from across the border.)
Glenn Gould was afraid to admit the incredible and very paradoxical depth of Mozart, because if he did, he would be shocked. But he did not like shocks and, as he himself said, did not like to depend on attachment to someone. This blasphemous thought came to my mind because I read in an interview with Gould and Bruno Monsenjon that because of the concert 24 K491 Gould was ready to fall in love with Mozart's music, but it was the music of this concert that Gould would later criticize in his program and declare that Mozart had become a bad composer. Doesn't that seem strange? As if Gould gets rid of his love for Mozart with the help of harsh criticism???
Anyone who has read the Glenn Gould Reader knows that he was careful in his use of the word “love” and therefore how high of a compliment he paid to early Mozart in this interview. And yet the libelous claim that he “hated” Mozart is repeated over and over.
I’ve heard Gould talk about Mozart, and I don’t believe he “hated” him….I think he said that Mozart became a “bad composer,” with unimaginative cadences, repeating and belaboring the dominant to tonic device at cadences. That was only one example that I remember. And to be honest, Mozart was desperate for money much of the time, and may have churned out compositions which were beneath him to try to generate some income. Anyway, I think Gould was being provocative, myself, and that Gould said a lot of dumb things that I don’t think he meant. He did have an aversion to Chopin, that’s for sure.
from 14.55, a piece of pure jazz, dynamically and rithmically. Precision speed and loud interpretation give a lot vitamines to Mozart "child music" (as Gould said in past interviews) . May be not appreciated by Mozart purists, but impressive for GG extreme technique admirers. I like this Mozart.
I don't like how Gould plays Mozart. But I've got to agree with him about k310... it starts great... but then we get to that part at 21:26-22:05 which is so boring with those endless scale runs.
This is a parody.... of the highest order. You've got to be on the inside of the joke. Glenn doing his thing. I pray he is somewhere... working with the things he loves most. Surrounded... with love and luxsruty. Friends, Honored Ones, and yes, you too, E ly, . HR/X. seimi. en taldo.
..more like an insult, my sister performed K. 310 for an audition some 40 y ago, I was the youngest at family and I know every single bit of it, still in my ears but this is a torture ….
Yes, Wolfgang loved laughing and lived in an exuberant chaotically happy household. Wolfgang and Glenn hanging out in immortal paradise, having a chuckle.
Well he is entitled to his opinion that Mozart gets a press better than he deserves. The way he races through the A minor - he seems to be determined really to leave the listener with nothing but a ton of notes. Such a patchy performer - either he is brilliant or awful.
Glenn hates every god damn note of this. Don't you get it>? Listen. He's pounding this out. Wake up. Wake beyond this.................. electro- magnetic wave.... both yours and those we tried to love. I hope that G. G. finds a lover worthy of him... Harmonia......... en excesidio. Dia Um.
Dear Glenn........ I'm... feeling................ your presence. I'm also typing. Thx. "now that the impeachment investigations have started, We look to tomorrow. No more. But...... to...... our selves. WE are enough,,, to start a wonderful transmission net work,... with Lenny, Nadia bulange, Arron Copland, Fats Walters, Charles Ives, T he usual suspects..... You know..? The usual suspects. Now. Think for your self. Take a breath of oxygen.... on pourpose. Yeah, right. ? Silly, ... I'm here. now . So ARE YOU........ 111111
He doesn’t hate the music but he can’t entirely accept it. Glenn always played things he loved very slowly. I get that he’s making a point and being cheeky but Mozart’s melodies are lovely and I think even Glenn even felt this, even if he couldn’t reconcile this with his worship of polyphony.
I think Gould is over imposing his polyphonic style over the mostly homophonic music too harsh. As a result the accompanying low notes and chords are out of balance to the melody. Especially because modern pianos have that mighty rich sound you should be careful with dynamics in the left hand, otherwise it fast goes into caricature or bad taste. Beside of that i believe that Mozart himself could have played his works closer to Glenn's playing than to the today's mainstream.
I think G.G, is making fun of Moszat . I find this very....... funny........ A kind of paridy . Like music for silent films. Silly to the extreme. SiLLLLLY. But intensional. IF YOU CAN'T LAUGH... your dead. And off the pay roll.
GG plays Mozart in Bach style. Bach music is always structured in two, three, or more interleaved themes, rather than a theme plus accompanying notes. Bach interpretation then needs a brain able to sense and move two separate hands, with no jerarchy between themes. Past Bach, piano music became gradually an "accompanyed melody", with the left hand in a sort of idle mode. I think the GG playing style for Mozart was motivated by a mental question: ehi... why don't you write something exciting also for the left hand?
@@francescomini2410 you are absolutly right and i wonder why other comments are so far away from this idea. gould is always with bach whoever he plays.
@@francescomini2410 If he's bored with Mozart, why make a show out of it? Why record his sonatas, declare that Mozart became a bad composer, that he died too late, not too early, and so on? Is it really impossible to just say: Mozart is not interesting for me? Gould doesn't seem to be a child to mock the composer's style that didn't please him? Or is he a child like Mozart?
Glenn, you didn't have to make fun of Wolfie. There's a slow burn to this. Thank Glenn G. Charles at 75 student of music, general semantics, nursing BS. BA. MSS. Ph.D, MSTUV/. 3020. A.T.O.M. I almost forgot your sense of humor. Forgive. May you name Ascend. Into GLOry.
Glenn Gould sollte besser bei Bach bleiben. Glenn spielt Mozart wie auf dem Jahrmarkt. Nicht jede Musik verträgt Glouds Interpretation schon gar nicht Mozart. Hierfür ziehe ich Mitsoku Uchida vor die Mozart meiner Meinung nach am besten interpretiert.
@@brucecross1164 Yes, I know he doesn't like Mozart. But then why play him? He is not proving anything since he is playing Mozart so badly. They only thing is he proving is that he doesn't understand Mozart? Just really weird coming from such an amazing Bach pianist!
I don't care what anyone says, not even Gould. I love the way he plays |Mozart.
You didn't get the joke? It was a joke. He was doing a parody of Mozart . Glenn was blessed with perfect memory and perfect pitch... and god knows what. I only want to say........ Thanks Glenn......... does your mother know you;re a Canadan? Long live Glenn.
I think he secretly loves Mozart in a strange way. He certainly has admiration for his musical gifts. He doesn’t give every composer that.
Gould can almost make Mozart palatable
Gould turns scores into exciting music, even his recordings of Mozarts first 6 sonatas are exciting.
Golden words 💛

Bruce, you're the best! I was looking for this, which is part of the music and arts CD of mozart piano sonatas for so long.
After all that fast Mozart, I listen to this as an antidote: ruclips.net/video/z5qi6fig1tM/видео.html

Bruce the 1967 Hammerklavier with the Mozart. Any chance we could get that
Hello Arthur, that is available on the official channel: ruclips.net/video/wMQa_tGJo-s/видео.html
Bruce Cross thanks. I didn’t know that was the Brooklyn performance
Brooklyn performance? I'm not aware of that. The one I know about is from a studio broadcast.
@@brucecross1164 Its been released on Sony Classical. I've not heard of another recording.
The 2nd movement of the K284 is not the same track of de CBS recording 😉 very similar, but not the same...
Thanks Matteo, I will have to listen again with the score and see if I can hear what you are hearing.
@@brucecross1164 there are little differences in some articulations and ornamentations. It’s basically the same vision but not the same track 😉
I think you're right.
Actually very epic playing, all the comments are wrong
sounds like a naughty boy

ABSCHEUERREGEND....
If only the outer movements can be slowed down from Presto to Allegreto, so that the real Mozart can emerge from the rushed tempo!
The real Mozart was both a highly gifted musician and a jokester.
