How Moonlight Sonata SHOULD Be Played:

[acactus]

Fiery, rhythmical, and syncopated! Gould’s rendition of this famous piece brings out the virtuosic nature while being simultaneously in classical style at heart.

[okiniksnolbaj]

Besides this speed you can hear every Note and every Nuance clearly.
Really inpressive!
Sounds Like this Guy has played a little bach right before this piece😂

[nejibensassi]

Gould is the most brave and confident performer.

[babygirl]

Now I can't listen to this piece in the intended tempo 😭

[LeVezz]

I didn't know there was that rythmic punch, that anacrouse before every bar. No other pianist made us hear it (at least that I know of).

[vodkat]

Damm, it's so fast. Kinda like his k279 3rd movement

[anhducduong]

Wow, thanks to this now I can figure out how Beethoven would actually play this himself.

[gaty]

I always love comparing how he made this piece absurdly dramatic and then made the appassionata absurdly undramatic(for lack of a better term)

[WD_GX]

That's how I played the moonlight sonata on my first competition (it was bad since it was my first time playing on a grand piano lol)

[beseemescavanger]

Never knew glenn gould could also play a piece fast

[octopuszombie]

One of the best interpretations of moonlight 3 i've ever heard

[diiselix]

I think Beethoven might've played it like this actually, it's meant to be a very virtuosic piece. And even if he didn't I like Gould's version

[thomas-xl]

i don't like this way of playing, but cheers for him to be able to play 2x speed

[RachManJohn]

I prefer Ney, but Gould doesn't do badly.

[RoadToProPiano]

Not technically hard piece. But to perform like that, you need to have a lot of technic and sound control.

[CiucPiano]

uhm. do people.. like this... bro it is too fast and you can't comprehend the piece as an listener. +glenn gould said this sonata bores him to maximum, especially the first movement. he is a example of a pianist who just plays and not expresses himself

[jakubkrticka]

Not good, as almost everything Gould played.
He just play like his piece...not like Beethovens
