In this video, Matthew King goes head to head with Glenn Gould. It's a deep dive into his 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 a great musician of the late 18th century or whether he remains relevant today. Matthew also emphasises a key part of Mozart’s genius, rarely discussed: his wonderful sense of rhythm.
