Glenn Gould - Mozart piano sonata nº 14 in Cm (First movement - Allegro) (kv 457)

[SevenCircles]

He should have done like Jeno Jando put an unlit cigarette in his mouth to be able to shut up while playing. He plays it really well I think.

o yeaaa yeni eserim :D

A very stiff way of playing Mozart. All that humming in the background dosen't belong in this sonata. Sometimes interesting when he turns every interpretation up side down, but it is not of any musical value.

[8182lydia]

I dont really like the part from 401 to 409. The left hand is kind of too heavy, I think.

[gabriel94220]

@8182lydia you're right. It's pretty unpleasant.

[8182lydia]

I really like how Glenn Gould plays this the way he touches the piano is great. I am actually working on this piece. Its hard, but really fun.

very fresh love it!

if bach had only done this or mozart done that, and if .................this is pure genius attached to 8 fingers and 2 thumbs. just pure genius....it is what it is......amazing! This man sits at the keys and they ask him, " what shall we play for you today Master"

and the virtuoso is unleashed.

[Nimenicamine01]

jajajaja! cierto, suele abundar mucho el staccato en el, pero yo pienso que esto no deberia ser motivo de critica tan severa, al fin y al cabo, todos sabemos que Gould forma parte de los grandisimos genios del piano en la historia de nuestra humanidad...

[colourfulwithaU]

Some pianists do "sleep on the pedal" for this piece, but I think this has too much stacatto. I am not a Mozart purist; I just don't like Gould's interpretations.

At least this beats his K310.

[heyaidkwhut]

@colourfulwithaU hmmmm i actually love what gould did with 310

[sam0xin]

MASTER ! again I heard so many so...s in other masterpiece through the "sound-X Ray..." of GREAT GOULD ! And I just LOVE his adorable humor on interpretations...SO CLASSY ! GENIUS !

[silverbud]

I find his staccato almost heroic. Never liked the many pianists who sleep on the pedal and think pedal means expression. And move their heads accordingly. Нет, не возможно! Viva Gould the purist!

[momeiyo7]

@silverbud I love Glenn Gould, but purist? are you out of your mind? Gould was a virtuoso bagpipes player before a purist!

[kv310]

El clave puede hacer legattos y staccatos. Es un concepto erróneo asociar el clave al staccato.

El staccato de Glenn parece que viene de la necesidad de medir el tempo tan rigurosamente. Es su forma de darle carácter a las frases. (Pienso yo, obvio).

[paulomtts]

@kv310 No. The piano cannot have real legato, as each key pressed presents an attack. Thus it is not necessarily a wrong concept to associate it more with staccato.

[Erge08]

Although Gould's Mozart often is considered to be blasphemic, especiacially the highly original interpretation of KV 457 reveales the genius of Glen Gould. Beautiful!

[nburton85]

Superb - love his little additions. The staccato in the left hand adds real character. Can certainly tell how Mozart was influenced by Bach, even in his later works.

[hbcardenas]

y también es molesto todo en staccato

[rolldito]

si es un misterio, no hay interpretación de gould que no tenga un 95% de staccato. Creo que lo del clave se le subió a la cabeza, se pasó de original y rozó lo exagerado.

[macrubit]

@rolldito A ver, es su estilo. No se pasó, es su aportación. Buscad a otros para articulaciones más ligadas. No se equivocó, alcanzó un estilo y exploró unos caminos determinados. Además suena genial...

[paziflora]

es un poco molesto oirlo cantar la melodia todo el tiempo
