  I agree that it sounds better on piano. The 4 part counterpoint can be voiced very beautifully on a piano. Sounds gorgeous.

  Lol at all these "Gouldians" as I call them. Sure he was brilliant, but his obscure, unique and down right bizarre interpretations hardly suffice to set a suitable paradigm.

  Also, just to further my point about style, you wouldn't play Chopin metronomically would you? Perhaps you know nothing about the art of interpreting piano music, because your ears have been soiled by Gould's bizarre interpretations.

  I know quite a bit about Gould, and I don't prefer his playing. No one is obligated to play exactly what is on the score, but there are certain stylistic boundaries within music, and Gould intentionally ignores them. By the way, Uchida is not even close to my favorite. Her's i...

  Do you realize that Gould intentionally played Mozart in a stylistically inappropriate way? Being the arrogant weirdo that he was, he hated Mozart's music and played it in a way that accentuated the aspects of it that he disliked. His playing of this sonata is satirical at best...

@Sim882 Let us also not forget that the majority of Mozart's music was written in major keys (especially the piano music). For example, he only wrote 2 sonatas and 2 concerti for piano in minor keys. In other words, 4/46 of his major piano works were in minor keys.

  Haydn's music is not always happy. In my opinion, it is often misinterpreted, and is sometimes victimized by the misconception that Haydn intended everything to be"playful," which is not necessarily true. Check out his 33rd keyboard sonata for example Hob. XVI no.20 in c minor. Or so...

@SuperWroclaw The conductor is following the soloist, and keeping the rest of the ensemble in time with the soloist. By, the way he is not behind the orchestra. He is keeping the pulse, the "big beats." You'd be surprised how important a conductor is in keeping even a small ensemble

together.
