Not a nice recording. Too fast, a rough, hard touch, without poetry. Gould doesn't do the piece justice. G. Sokolov's playing is absolutely wonderful!

If Mozart's own notation says that this was a piece for beginners, why does Gould thumb his nose at the composers own conceptions? Gould knew better what a beginners sonata should be played, at what insane tempo? Glenn: it doesn't hold up. It's simply ridiculous.

Lo dico in italiano: col pianoforte Gould fa quello che vuole. La sua tecnica, figlia di una prodigiosa memoria istantanea, gli offre infinite varietà di interpretazione dello stesso pezzo che non ha riscontri con altri pianisti, vincolati quasi sempre ad unico stile. Molte versioni anomale di pezzi noti possono irritare, ma a mio avviso Gould, se adottiamo una parafrasi sportiva, rimane il pianista più forte del secolo.

do you know how old was Mozart at the time of this composition? Do you know how mutch he liked the music contest % the use of brilliant improvisation while exibiting for the emperor public, Salieri and so on? Well, this Gould interpretation represent at maximun extent the playing style of a 17th century young child trying to impresse his mentor and capture the audience plause. Nothing more. If you play that with a beethovenian romantic spirit you are out of the story.

The rithmical speed of this toccata Is broken at 1.20 by a super- adagio lyrics suspension, played in evident contrast with the rest of interpretation. A genial trick.

A real jazz interpretation & technique, specially just before the quiete coda.

this is exactly how i play it!!!

There is a need for some people in this comment thread to consider piano lessons- then they will be free to play Bach their own way. 😉

❤❤❤

Thanks for uploading!

When playing Bach as if you were a spinning machine this is not longer Bach anymore. This is a way of killing the life in this music

I hear pure joy

Sounds like an AI. Disgusting!

With him a simple sonatina becomes a masterpiece!

Impish. Like it!

Wow!

It's his way to interpret it, and I love it! Specially how he plays the final chords 😂

I’ve got goosebumps!!!! ❤️🎹⚡️✨

C’est du gould.

😂

he plays like a computer!

Enfant terrible.

The Bruce Lee of the piano. Didn't care about tradition. Went with what he felt and honestly expressed himself. Bravo!

thanks for sharing, this is one of my favorites. ❤❤

It's so extra lol

Amazing synthesis of aesthetics and logic. The best interpretation of Bach. I'm confident he'd agree

Mozart will kill u

By looking at the photo, I now understand why the left hand is so very much overstated in this performance😅

Guld e l'arte dello stupire a ogni costo. Decisamente no.

Glenn Gould is my favorite pianist, and I absolutely detest his Mozart interpretations pretty much across the board. This is terrible. He plays it like he can't wait for it to be over. This sonata is absolutely beautiful and he just massacres it here. He also changes the notes at 0:46 in order to be harmonically the same as the closing cadence of the piece, but it's not what Mozart wrote! It's *worse*. Mozart made it different at the end for contrast, and Gould homogenizes it for no reason.

True allegro

grazie

Per fortuna Mozart non l'ha sentito....

I love how in this movement you can hear many recollections of his earlier piano sonatas. The section at 0:40 is almost exactly like a section from the first movement of sonata 1. The passage at 1:08 also reminds me of a certain moment from k332 mvt 1 2:19 in the left hand is kind of like the climatic moment in the presto of k280

Chase. I played this as 10some- yrs old. Technical and fast- just the way I liked it!

Очень мило и трогательно..😍.. Благодарю!

From Baby Mozart Music Festival (1998) fluids

The rhythm is amazing

この曲のグールドの弾き方が大好きです。他のどんなピアニストよりも大好きです。偉大なグールドと同じ時代を生きられただけで私はとても嬉しいのです。

つ 2:32

Let the man play it like wants to. Tired of all the tasteless copy-paste versions we are being served nowadays

There is a story about elves who sneak in at night to make shoes This performance reminds me of the elves who drank three cans of Red Bull.

존나 잘치넹 진짜 굴드 사랑해 진짜 굴드 사랑해

A funny little tune, but it yielded some good things.

bleah....

If Lang Lang played it like this every one would rush with the insults but it seems when someone like Mr. Gould does it, it somehow grows to be an exceptional performance...

grazie di nuovo

Big Brother & The Holding company & Janis Joplin’s “Summertime” play a guitar solo of this, it’s absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it

The finale of this is simply Majestic !
