    Gould’s speed is more beautiful than others because he matched it with such intense possession of feeling. He really was remarkable and still an important voice in Bach keyboard music performance today.

But it is equally anyone else's right to say they don't like the way he plays it. " I agree with your view but didn't want to post there because I didn't want to start the argument again. However, I will offer you a new way of looking at Gould's interpretation that you can take if you want. I invite you to explore the possibility that although Gould's rendition of the piece is awful, it is so bold and so striking that it is a pleasure to listen to for me because it provides a sense of nonconformity.

    +Yami Bakura - I appreciate your desire not to start the same tired argument again, nor do I wish to myself. But to be clear, I do not find Gould's Bach "bold and striking", as a rule. Almost all his Bach is tasteless and cartoonish to me. The only recording of his Bach I ever liked was the 1965 recording of the Goldbergs. It has been my experience that the same people who insist Gould was the greatest keyboard genius of the 20th century (completely untrue) also insist that Maria Callas was the only great singer during the same time period, which is completely ridiculous and untrue, and very insulting to a lot of other really great singers. My preferred recording of Bach, in most all cases, is Rosalyn Turek on the piano, who Gould knew, studied and copied very assiduously. But that's just me!

    What people don't get about GG is he was a contrarian. His interpretations are always offerings to view a piece heard a thousand times played in an entirely new way. Traditionalists have a hard time with that. Glenn seldom tries to deliver the authoritative interpretation, only an alternative one. That's a great gift to music.

    The caption of the video is misleading. In this video, he simply alters the piece, to make a point. This is not how he played it in his recordings! Mr. Glenn Gould's playing was crystal clear. He played with perfect timing, allowing Bach's harmonies to shine clearly... . He also adjusted the attack of the piano, as to have great control over the sound quality. He would read a score, and play it with relatively little practice. He played all pieces by heart. He also had perfect pitch. Mr. Gould played the works of Bach, and selected works of other composers. His playing was deep, precise, and thought provoking. His playing speed and timing are still baffling. He had a deep understanding of harmony and composition, and had many shows about classical music, on tv and on the radio.

    @@sugardaddy4714 That coming from Gould is at least curious. He would shred the style of a piece if he felt to, or even changing things that were made literal on scores. Well, I think all of us have the tendency of despising in others what we have in ourselves, like if we felt unmasked. I feel that Bach here was experimenting, like it was a kind of an etude... The piece is really astonishing I can only imagine other keyboard masters of the time blurring by witnessing Bach's ability to, basically, do what the hell he wanted to. Maybe Gould felt Bach's genious overshadowing his own in a measure that was too much. Two genious, of course, but the creator is above the creature.

    Most people don't understand how difficult it is to interpret baroque music on a piano, and all piano players play baroque the same way today, high skill but skipping over all the possibilities. And those who are aware of them, play the organ or harpsichord. A good listener always prefer historical correct instrument anyway, right? And why do all the best baroque players not play piano? Gould chose to explore it, which he did his maximum effort to achieve and highlight how many details there are to explore. I think no one have been able to continue where he left, or are willing to try, because we just settle for the fact that baroque belongs to historical instruments

I've never heard of him nor have I listened to his music before. With my sense of it he can over-dramatize all he wants. Really what is over-dramatizing as it seems to enter a realm that works for me. Thanks for sharing this!

    In one of his interviews with Bruno Monsaingeon (its somewhere here on YT), Gould makes the point -- with which I personally agree, for whatever that is worth -- that the purpose of public recitals is to offer something fresh to audiences. Otherwise (and I am paraphrasing) what is the point of paying to listen to more or less identical performances of the "warhorses" of established piano literature? He admits in his interview that upon playing a Mozart piano sonata in such a manner one of his audiences became quite irate (again, paraphrasing). I strongly suspect that this is one of Gould's "fresh" interpretations. His face at the end seems to suggest he had a good time.

Were there shortages of Mozart sonatas recordings, I might have a problem with eccentric interpretations. As it is, Mozart sonatas recordings are legion, and there's plenty of room for all sorts of views, Gould's included. He does seem to have not had much respect for the sonatas, yet, despite this, he produced a weird musicality out of his extreme approaches. I'm glad they exist.

    I honestly think Gould simply had no idea how to play the Chromatic Fantasy. I mean, he could play the notes, but the dynamics, rubato, etc. seems all over the place. It's like one part of him is saying "play it like you play Bach", and another side of him is saying "play it as a romantic piece", and the result is a car wreck.

    Horrible interpretation..self indulgent and overly rubato. Yes, it is a fantasy, but this is a little too fantastic. So many better recordings.

    Horrible statement... so ignorant... it is ok if you dont like the interpretation. but you cant say that his interpretation is bad. you just dont like it. it is his right to interpret this piece the way he wants it to and you are probably not the one to judge whether it is good or bad. maybe you are

    Goulds interpretations take J.S Bach works and expose them in a musicological manner rather than artistic.

    @joelmcilveen: you are one of the rudest, most I'll spoken individuals. Learn to address people properly. For you information, I happen to have a Master's in music performance in piano from the Sydney conservatorium of music. I don't like this interpretation. It IS a poor rendition, even Gould said that he disliked this piece. Gould was an incredibly arrogant individual that artistically destroyed pieces of composers for which he did not care. Although he adored Bach, he loathed this piece. Listen to his Chopin and Mozart: it is abysmal.

    Daniel Schmitz: my statement is neither horrible nor ignorant. Freedom of speech, not just opinion is highly valued in this country, as such, I am exercising said right. This interpretation is a poor one. Gould didn't even like the chromatic fantasy and fugue: he thought it to be a musical naive piece by Bach and didn't find it musically interesting. His playing is indicative of his opinion.

    +Scott C So how much is music in general is open to interpretation, how far fast the boundary of the purists is acceptable? Is the ctriteria for a good performance one that entertains it's audience or one that follows strict etiquette? Not an opinion, just a question to open up a discussion....
