<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=202551214-26052011><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=3>Morning all. I listened to one of the Beethoven
lectures over the weekend, at home. It was delicious and
wonderful. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=202551214-26052011><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=3></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=202551214-26052011><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=3> Last night I dusted off my DVD copy
of "Hereafter", which I had not seen in a few years. Of course I was
overwhelmed with great emotion and found myself in tears at the incredible
beauty of the music making, laughing at his sense of humor and in awe of his
intellect, which I think is still not properly appreciated by his fellow
artists. I say this because the die-hards have not fallen out of love
or respect. He deserves more recognition from other artists, giving
Gould the credit due, acknowledging that his artistic approach, filled with
extremes as they were, all were entirely underwritten by a deeply passionate
desire to know the inner realms of the musical thoughts. I do not know
that GG was the first philosophical musical prodigy, but for me he is the
most important.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=202551214-26052011><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=3>Another impression I get from the documentary is that
GG often achieved levels of altered states of consciousness and from these
highly charged and ecstatic states he was able to see the music as if for
the first time; even more, his insights totally informed the manner in which
he approached interpretation. The section where he explains the "why"
of his infamous Mozart sonata approach I found myself finally understanding
a bit more, why his interpretation was acceptable within the
strict agenda that his approach had set for itself. His
objective was to turn the overly familiar sonata inside out and deeply
examine the architecture of the theme as it evolves through
exposition. He is not the only one to search for these types of
insights and he is often remembered as having too much recourse to gross
exaggeration in order to make his points. However, once one has finally
grasped some of the insights that his performances afford us, we are
better off and our artistic appreciation is deeper. What can possibly
be found in such a journey? That is one reason I can never be away
from listening to GG. There is so much there to contemplate and be
enlightened by.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
