Seems like a child playing.

Toy soldiers march can be seen.

Do not you agree?

Slower than most versions, but very crisp, and with a distinct interpretation. Very nice.

[khutsishvili1989]

great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Gould's brain is too intelligent for this. He best playing Bach. Thank heavens he concentrated on Bach. What a waste if he'd spent too much time on this inferior music of Mozart.

This sounds like something Bach would have written whilst still in nappies.

All those repeated notes like it's not been workled out properly. Some of the voices just going ta ta ta

In fact I've never understood why anyone would want to play Mozart when there's Bach to play instead !

lol....you can tell it's crazy Glenn because you can hear him humming :-).

He'd be in the studio doing crazy EMI recordings and they couldn't stop him from humming.

Great artist though.

I actually like this version wayy better. So many people push the speed ridiculously which okay I suppose it shows off their technique but music isn't just about technique. The character of the piece is also very important and this slower version emphasizes "the march" very well and as someone already pointed out, follows the allegretto that Mozart would have wanted for this piece.

I like the slower version

Gould was one of the greats, even when you hear him humming in the background, as he often did. The rolling of the chords is a perfect rendition of the Turkish jannissery marching band rolling their snaredrums..Listen carefully between 2:50 and 3:15..you hear Gould making rolling growls with his throat, also at the end he rolls the arpeggio passages very uniquely, where many pianists just play chords.Final answer? Would Mozart have liked it. YES!!!

I could see why its called turkish march! XD Great vid btw!

Glen Gould is the only pianist who plays this movement of Piano Sonata 11 from Mozart correct, in Allegretto, that' s what stays above this piece. All other pianist who don' t play this piece in this tempo, play this wrong.

Gleen Gould is the only pianist who plays this movement of Piano Sonata 11 from Mozart correct, in Allegretto, that' s what stays above this piece. All other pianist who don' t play this piece in this tempo, play this wrong.

every time I listen to gould's version, I'm in awe how innovative this rendition is, when every other version sounds more or less the same...
