Glenn Gould - Prokofieff, Piano Sonata No. 7 in B-flat major op. 83 (OFFICIAL) 

Philistines love Glenn the most!

О, да!!!

Personally - this makes me calm. I feel the world today is towards way grater collision than World War II. “Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.” Cesar A. Cruz

That is a wonderful painting.

Gould did play the entire 7th Sonata. Here is the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-trNP9gsu6Ks.html 😎🎹

There was another video of Glenn Gould playing the entire Seventh Sonata on a Canadian TV program. His interpretation of the Precipitato there is quite different from the recording he made of it several years later. That performance can be found at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-omx6jg82bJc.html but I can't seem to find the entire TV program. It may have been deleted.

No kidding, I was absolutely floored by how he played this, so brutal and romantic. Completely disappointed by the third movement.

Interesting. I think of this quote by someone unknown- “Music is intended to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.”

@SteppenWolff100 Ok

when I listen to the aggression and dissonance in this piece I also think of a quote.. by a 20th century Austrian Poet (sorry forgot the name) who had the uncanny ability to convey really complex emotions in few words.. anyway, the poem I was thinking of goes like this: "TO THE CHOPPAAAAAAAAHHH!! " It's from a bundle of poems called "GET DOWN!"

There already is a movie about him.

They already made a movie about him--and it's my favorite. "32 Short Films About Glenn Gould" starring Colm Feore. A must-see.

@@LuluBodhi I'm not familiar with Ethan Hawke. I'll have to investigate.

He definitely is.

It's quite visible that it's only a ten minute video.

It's not twelve tone, it has a clear key base in every movement. It does have extremely unconventional harmonies but it clearly follows the rules of tonality.

Ah I see you were just saying music like this falls into the same category, you weren't saying it was twelve tone... my bad.

I find that after a few listens this piece grows on you. I would have agreed with you the first time i heard it

Listen to it more than once. It's actually quite good. Maybe Prokofiev's best sonata.

God I love it when Gould hurts fragile mens’ feelings by giving them something to think about. 😂

What, if any resonance of my criticism/post defines me as a "fragile man" ? Exactly what part of your imbecilic comment is supposed to elucidate any intelligent comment, or future discussion on this thread? Obviously the "fragile" one here is the one who denotes anything anti-group-think as some aberrant form of insecurity, albeit translated into a demasculinized stigma. I wonder if I was openly gender nonbinary, what you're approach would have been. My feelings are certainly well intact thank you, perhaps yours have been unfortunately wrinkled; and for that, I do feel sorry for you. :)

I kinda agree

What are you talking about.... The piece is a masterpiece.

Listen harder

Yes he was an eccentric freak that's why he was so unique yet it is absolutely a masterpiece by Prokofiev no doubts

@@carlosmendozapiano I am fed up with this worship of Glenn Gould. Good pianists are a dime a dozen and he was nothing special. What he was was a typical ego-centered exhibitionist who liked to play the music of Bach when no one else did. He also liked to hum along to what he was playing as well, which made all of his recordings a mess to listen to. If Gould had never lived, we would not miss him in the least. Prokofiev’s piano sonatas are anything but masterpieces except for avant-garde fools like you. They are devoid of melody. What is music without melody? Prokofiev’s masterpieces are his symphonies and concertos and ballets and much other music, but most definitely NOT his piano sonatas. I think they only appeal to other pianists, never a reliable source of what is good.

@@neogb8995 I gave it 3 listens and then said to hell with it! It is just junk and nonsense.

Edward245100 haters gona hate

Maybe your mind is just not great enough to appreciate his.

@@rivers1005 What is there to appreciate - or do you think that classical pianists are a rare breed? Even Bernstein did not think much of him. Gould was essentially a self-centered jerk. Maybe you are too?

@@xszdev idiots gona say something

I can't believe this FREAK PIANIST is HUMMING this AVANT-GARDE crap. What is music? Who knows, certainly not pianists.
