Why the fuck does everyone say so much shit about this guy. Everyone looks at music in different ways, Gould's interpretations may not be what is expected, but they are his, and they made him feel more connected to the music, and thats what matters most. Look at Gould as a person to learn from, that many musicians have different interpretations from what you have, and we must study these people to realize what Mozart or Bach could also sound like, rather than the normal interpretation.

Loved every note. Thanks.

I love Gould, but the theme and some of the fewing following variations are not "grazioso".

[MaxWorm1]

Thats great !

Gould put forth a great deal of thought into all of his interpretations and there is no doubt he was aware of the unconventionality of many of his interpretations, as is evidenced from his many interviews. Although I wouldn't play or teach this piece the way he plays it, I greatly admire Gould for the freedom and creativity he injected into his interpretations, something I feel is sorely lacking in this day and age of classical music performance. His playing is always thought provoking to me.

I'm looking at the music as I listen to Glen's rendition and it makes no sense. He sounds like someone who is picking out the melody for the very fist time. Slow and unsure of what's going on.

This interpratation is like dewdrops on autumn leaves.. Fresh and diaphanous. Every note fills my heart with joy. Thanks Glenn!

as someone who loves a lot of Glen Gould's work I find it very hard to believe that this performance would get so many likes if it wasn't branded "Glen Gould"

@GKCG96 I couldn't have said it any better!

@dim19f wow well said

There is no sense in trying to figure whether this is a good interpretation of mozart's sonata or not, simply because this is a different piece . Gould is a very strange and unique artist. I dont know whether he is doing this alteration of tempo naturally or not, but he must be treated as a complete different case. He is using the piece and develops his conception of music in it. He is not interested in Mozart. The piece becomes completely different in the end.

i love glenn gould, but this recording comes off as unprofessional, especially from the third variation on. in the fifth, it seems he forgets his tempo in the middle of it. interesting ideas here, but not my favorite. thanks anyway glenn!
