  When he was young Gould’s father Bert watched him go into his bedroom with a Chopin score and come out a few hours later and play it by memory.  His technique was so flawless he learned pieces by simply reading them, not needing to train the hand.

  It’s 2023 and this video continues to age like a fine wine.

  Mr. Gould spoke with as much originality as he played. <br>Tremendous. &nbsp;The world misses such genius like never before.

  My dad was church organist and choir director. Naturally he played piano at home every day practicing for Sunday. And by far his favorite was Gould

  The man could &nbsp;not have been &nbsp;human. He was &nbsp;either an angel in &nbsp;human form or an &nbsp;emissary from an advanced &nbsp;civilization.

  I want to personally thank God for giving us the gift of Glenn Gould.

  Just imagine if Gould and Beethoven himself could have met and argued their respective musical philosophies. What an intellectual cage-match that would&apos;ve been!

  whatever face Glenn Gould made while playing, I never think he was pretentious. He was a genuine artist.

  When I first heard Glenn, he changed my view on classical music because I never heard anybody hum in the background while they played. Then when I saw the way he sat at the piano and how he played, I realized he was more than a pianist, he was an Artist.

  I&apos;m flabbergasted at Glen Gould&apos;s short dissertation on Beethoven and his art . I&apos;ve allways held Mr Gould in a rareified realm of genius as an astonishingly cerebral and emotionally deep performance artist . What an intellect Gould possessed . He says in this brief four minutes everything , and even more , than I&apos;ve ever thought about concerning Beethoven . Both Beethoven and Gould stand alone in a very lofty and unique strata of artists . So grateful for this treasure of a presentation . Thank you sincerely 😌
