Bach - Goldberg Varations, BWV 988 "Variation 1" (Gould)

[30inventionman]

It is reality dude. Grow up. Subjective. ha! i was in no way being subjective, abstract, or any other way you want to interpret what I said. I am right.

To be known you must compete. debut, recitals, and so on and so forth. The orchestra will not have you just walk on stage and perform a Mozart concerto. Grow up! @superiorLarxene

[30inventionman]

flawless this version.

[esojbar]

Gould? Was he running away from the police or ETs? (beautiful anyway...Bach is Bach).

[MucusFelidae]

Gallopping horses run over the keyboard in a race who will be the first. Why so fast?

[Cyfrlingk]

Bach incarnated as Mozart.

[dadnapt24]

Mozart can wright 10000x better, oh wait he did!

[PhillyB702]

@dadnapt24 Can't compare a baroque composer with a classical composer. It would be like comparing Beethoven to Ravel. Write*

[dadnapt24]

@PhillyB702 wanna try me?

[SuperiorLarxene]

@dadnapt24 No, PhillyB702 is correct. Not to mention what you're saying is completely subjective. Baroque and Classical are two completely different styles. It's like trying to compare Trance music with Choral music. Also, music isn't about competition. lol Every musician should know that first-hand.

[30inventionman]

@SuperiorLarxene Everything is about competition

level 2 u forget about competition and explore your passion

[SuperiorLarxene]

@30inventionman No, everything is not about competition. lol Like I said, it's like trying to compare Trance music and Choral music. Boy, I hate it when people reply to my comments. lol

[30inventionman]

@SuperiorLarxene Your missing my point. Everything is about competition at first. Though we grow and realize it is not and that is when true art is put into music as Gould has done.

So, yes, first we must compete with ourselves and against others.

[SuperiorLarxene]

@30inventionman And this is why I hate when people reply to my comments. Everything you said is subjective and is completely debatable topic and is in no way factual. I do agree with you, however, that is because we as humans have made everything competition because of our greed.

[SuperiorLarxene]

@SuperiorLarxene So, essentially everything *is not* all about competition. Only to the mind of those who wish to prove they are better. I am not one of those people, which is why you and I have opposing opinions.

[Mogansss]

It's funny because the speed on the sheets say 108

[fiandrhi]

@TheChopinesque The claim is that they were supposed to entertain an insomniac during his bouts of wakefulness, not help him fall asleep! And even that's a myth.

[letusbelennon]

I felt like I was on a roller coaster that was about to fly off the tracks. Which wasn't necessarily a bad thing!

[rsrobertoehi]

Yes a bit fast but as always by Glenn well played

[Shofilof]

this is way to fast, glenn gould plays it in 1:10

[MasterYoshi0]

This is excellent!

[samarabob]

my stereotype of Gould was playing everything very slow, but this is too fast for my taste actually...

[fiandrhi]

@samarabob That's an odd idea of Gould. He often took things at breakneck speeds. I would say his tempi were more often faster than average than slower.
