Gould is lying about the mirror gag! He snake salesman nookie tie!

Every time Glenn speaks the world is enlightened with a shining beam of musical truth. I just cannot believe how some people even dare to give the category of 'genius' to other pianists who cannot even dream of having this type of understanding of the music.

I do believe the measures he's referring to are 12 to 15. At least, the chords he plays as demonstration at 2:20 correspond to these measures. Listen for the highest melodic voice in his played progression: A - G - F#, (though LVB spells the G as an F double-sharp). The respective chords are A fully diminished - D# major - B major, which are elaborately arpeggiated in LVB's score. I haven't figured out what Gould is referring to by "turning the progression upside down" in mirror fashion. Hmmm.

@bnull240 Ohhh, okay, I thought he mean 'third movement' from the last sonata.
-
@iroveashe He said "Third from last"
-
Did he say the last sonata, the opus 109? Did he hate the rest so much that he forgot they exist? Or am I getting something wrong?
-
I don't blame him, poor guy; trying to explain richness of music and different views about composers and the work he did for posterity ! People (like Germans) should pay attention to Mr.Gould who was in general, a must for German music development, in thesis and practicing. Peace to his soul, and thankful for his personnal experience he leted !

-
