 ³How Mozart Became a Bad Composer,² starring Glenn Gould was originally
broadcast as one of several segments on the April 28, 1968, edition of the
NET newsmagazine program PBL: Public Broadcasting Laboratory. It aired one
time only and was never released commercially. This will be the first public
screening of the telecast since it aired on PBL.
 
?³How Mozart Became a Bad Composer,² begins with Gould¹s satirical analysis
of the music of Mozart; he refers to Mozart¹s C Minor piano concerto, K.
491, as a morass of clichés of no more interest than ³interoffice memos.²
Later in the segment, Gould performs the complete Mozart Piano Sonata in
B-flat Major, K. 333.?The work was  not among Mr. Gould¹s posthumous effects
or among the commercial videos released by Sony Classical in the 1990s. The
segment was brought to the attention of Gould scholars last year by New
York-based documentary filmmaker, Lucille Carra.
 
The program was directed by Kirk Browning and executive-produced by David
Oppenheim, for PBL.
 
Following the screening, David Dubal, host of the popular weekly WQXR radio
program Reflections from the Keyboard, will moderate a discussion with
pianist Simone Dinnerstein and filmmaker Lucille Carra.?

I hope that you will be able to join us for this event and to share this
information with your New York based friends.

Kind regards,
Faye Perkins
