Glenn Gould - Pt. 2: Inventor vs. Curator (On How Mozart Became A Bad Composer)

Part 2 of a light-hearted and humorous tribute from one musical genius to another. Glenn Gould had a somewhat mixed opinion of Mozart’s music: while he was renowned for his interpretations of the works of Johann Sebastian Bach, his views on Mozart were not as consistently enthusiastic. Gould expressed reservations about the emotional expressiveness and the perceived emotional restraint in Mozart’s music. This unique-documentary is significant in several respects. It is the most sustained and pointed of his various public statements about his ambivalent feelings toward Mozart’s music. It marks the first time he let loose the comic side of his public persona on television and concludes with passionate performance of the K. 333 sonata, that up until now has never been released and differs significantly from his three other preserved performances of the work. Video and audio have been completely restored from the broadcast master. Footage licensed from WNET.
