  • @EMPERORMIKI you, my good man, are an idiot.

  • @HerlockSholmes123 since I have never heard of that composer before I will place him behind the composer I normally place last, Chopin. So the last 3 composers on the list are Copland, Chopin, and now this Alkan person (what kind of composer name is Alkan??). Music is very masculine and there is really no place for effeminate composers like Chopin IMHO ... in modern times I'm sure Chopin would have been one hell of a hairdresser.

  • @EMPERORMIKI There's also Charles-Valentin Alkan. Don't forget that.

  • @HerlockSholmes123 Who is Philip Glass? jew?? In truth there is only one jew guy that has achieved anything worth mentioning musically and that is Schoenberg, a fine fine composer.

  • @EMPERORMIKI And Phillip Glass rates higher than everyone else. Don't forget that.

  • @HerlockSholmes123 actually Bach rates below Beethoven and slightly below Charles Ives. He is the 3rd greatest composer in history. Bach wrote "to the glory of god" at the beginning of most of his scores for christs sake ... what a dolt lol.

  • Glenn had to be in a hurry, his life was far too short unfortunately. Pity pity pity.

    It's a bit fast, looks like the loss of a penny of Glenn himself ...;-)

  • Thing is, most of the pianists have to work really hard to play the piece like this.

    But when it comes to Gould, he just gets relax while playing at this tempo. And He almost never practice.

  • I dont give a fuck if Beethoven doesnt likes it, cause I think this is pure genius! Glenn ur simply the best

  • @Alex6keyboarddreameR i think hes playing it how, if he made the song, he would perform it like this..idk its his interpretation, i like it haha
