In this video, Matthew King goes head to head with Glenn Gould who goes head to head with Mozart! This is a re-edited rerelease of a longer video originally released in 2024: it's a deep dive into Gould's famous 1968 TV essay, ‘How Mozart became a Bad Composer’. Matthew discusses the context of Gould’s criticisms and then debates the details, always conscious of Gould’s genius and his admirably mischievous interrogation of the classical canon. The key bone of contention is whether Mozart was merely a great musician of the late 18th century or whether, on the contrary, he is a composer for all eras who remains vitally relevant today. Matthew also emphasises a key part of Mozart’s genius, rarely discussed: his wonderful sense of rhythm.
