among other things, 2:41 got absolutely charming.

The diminished chord is a plague in music. It can act is a cadence in the chord family

I question whether this piece is any type of parody at all. If the original title was scherzo furioso this suggests that the piece was originally not a "piss take" but merely a scherzo.

Jumping into this debate a year late, but nonetheless: I happen to own a copy of "The Glenn Gould Reader", a collection of his writings, and I should say that he does in fact support his remarks about Mozart and other composers with sound and detailed musicological arguments.

Glenn Gould was Canada's greatest intellectual/musical creation and a true innovator in communications.
Thank you for posting videos that are so hard to find!
"I don't think there's any great contradiction in loving Strauss, for instance, and loving Schoenberg, who was in a sense his arch-enemy. I can't see any reason that one love has to cancel out another. I think that's one of the great mistakes people make today, and especially the avant-garde people make, when they try to decide who's in, who's out, who's with, and who's not. That's a great mistake, and I wish they'd stop it -- it's all so silly." -Glenn Gould (interview with John McClure)
