See the inner life of Glenn Gould

Let us see the inner life of Glenn Gould,Glenn Gould (1932–1982) was a prodigy who loathed the word, a brilliant pianist who disliked performing, and a public figure who craved solitude. With his recording of the Goldberg Variations by J.S. Bach, Gould became an international celebrity.
  Gould's unusual interpretations, quirky stage mannerisms, and teasingly contrarian pronouncements fascinated and annoyed audiences and critics. He gave concerts in Canada, the United States, and abroad for several years. To everyone's disbelief, he quit the concert stage just a few months short of his thirty-second birthday and immersed himself in his true love: the recording studio.

Why Gould Bach in the 20th century to become the best spokesperson? It depends on his unique view of music.
In addition to Bach, Gould's playing a very wide range: from the Renaissance to the 20th century Gibbons of Schoenberg. But look up and down, there is a characteristic of these works: on the bit.
"The place is so different melodies in different voices in harmony and art." This is the interpretation of music dictionaries. Broadly speaking, the composers of the 10th century when the chant melody in the top or bottom of the fourth or fifth with a parallel movement of the melody, there is the initial counterpoint. To the Renaissance, registration law is a high degree of development, and Baroque music, especially Bach's music is the development of European music in the history of the peak position: Fugue, Concerto such a genre to two, three, More melody intertwined. The rise of the classical era of counterpoint was the cold; and Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, letting the three masters in vocal music and on-bit contrast adjustment on the basis of a step forward. In the 20th century, the rise of neo-classical, but also raise the status of the bit. Composers using the multi tonal counterpoint comparison rather than the melody tone contrast. To Gould beloved composers and works, in general have focused on the position of use. Unlike the late works of Mozart, as attention to the position early, then that really surprises Gould: "Mozart is not too early death, but too late!"
Comparison of the bit means, means conflict, means that the contradiction, which means struggle. The Gould I not also live in the conflicts, contradictions, struggles in! He, said interest in a utilitarian, materialistic society, still gave up promising career on the stage; is his contempt for the conservative view of music, again and again to critics dumbfounded. This is Gould and social struggle, which is the resistance and self-Gould - ultimately, all of his left hand into the fight.
The face of the bit player in general dense Bach, more or less sensible simplification of some of them. Gould was a lefty. Perhaps this made him to be more clear to pour out of Bach's bass lines, but also allowed him to different perspectives of ordinary people to understand Bach's music. He also has the ability to dare to shut this maze of man-eating cow attack the Camino.

Why Gould Bach in the 20th century to become the best spokesperson? Maybe they have a temperament more similar Suan charm.
"A person can enrich their time at the same time does not belong to this age; to all the times he could tell, because he does not belong to any particular time this is a final defense of individualism. He stated that a person can create combination of their own time, the time refused to accept any restrictions imposed norms. "Gould says of composer Richard Strauss, Gould might say that this is more appropriate for their evaluation of these. "Each of the times he may have run counter to the trend." Gould said of Bach. This is also like his self-deprecating.
Bach's later life in the mind of the solitude. Son called him "old fashioned", the people who indulge in opera arias full of show off, the employer is using rap to answer his genius ... ... he has no intention to create a new world - he knew that this is not his power, this is not God to his mission. He spent all the heat that will repair the old world with him gone, it died with their perfect together. Gould's life also live in solitude. In terms of how much he can get on stage with flowers and applause, no matter how much he can buy a million records, he is tired, all alone. Because of the few people can fully understand his philosophy, as the century of the physical world can not understand Einstein and his theory of relativity. In short he does not belong to this era. He claimed to be "the last Puritan" - a statement they belong in the past. In short he does not belong to this age, he is a prophet without aura - he belongs to the future.
