Just a thought. For all those of you seeking to analyze and deconstruct a particular interpretation... you are missing the point of the Art. The magic does not lie in the individual notes or the turn of a phrase but rather in the whole. Get out of your left brain for a few minutes and just listen... not to Gould, or Gulda or Goldfish. The artist here is J.S. Bach.

@treefingers68 music theory helps you understand music better as a whole. It allows you to be able to pick out the parts of the piece you're trying to play. It gives structure to a big mess of notes and rhythms. It is VERY useful. It's like saying that learning grammar inhibits a writers creativity.

Let treefingers have his own opinion, guys. I don't agree with him, but I think he's trying to say that all this knowledge doesn't necessarily produce a good musician (which I DO agree with), and that sometimes it takes a fresh pair of untrained ears to hear things in a different way... it may be his personal experience that too much understanding can sometimes not allow us to step back and not be as analytical.

@clevernickname70 The true Art is in the skillful balance of the written work and an artist's interpretation of the piece. If either of these is emphasized over the other, true musical beauty cannot be achieved.

@treefingers68 They unlock creativity. What you are refering to is infact impulsiveness. True creative genius is taking impulses and turning that into something beautiful and engenius through one's knowledge.

@treefingers68 are you absolutely retarded? ... i don't even know how to begin to describe how ignorant your comment is
-
That was a ridiculously ignorant comment. If you provoke me to do so, I will explain why, but grudgingly.
-
On a purely aesthetic and emotional level, I am less moved by many other interpretations and find them less beautiful. And for any performer worth his salt, the "why" is a necessary question.

@clevernickname70 ... which is why counterpoint and music theory classes are %100 useless and inhibit creativity

to follow up you should note that the study of theory in a western sense really only started becoming popular after Rameau published his treatise - and even then it wasn't widely taught until the mid18th cent. The reason we have the theory we do now is from studying works and deriving our own set of "rules" (I use this lightly) from common elements we find. Just remember that Bach and other composers of the time were making these rules by what sounded right to them not what they read in a book.

@evanduffycomposer Well, before Rameau you had Fux. Also, composers didn't just compose away, they were educated by masters, in what was a highly professional and artisanal environment. Just because the rules aren't learned from a book, doesn't mean there are no rules: just ask any genuine carpenter (hm, I guess they're all retired/dead nowadays...).
