I remember reading somewhere in GG's own words, where he referred to this
work as, and I am paraphrasing here, a bad work. It is probably in the
Glenn
Gould reader.

Dear Eric and all,
This gets worse. I was a little upset to think that GG 'didn't like' Opus
22, co-incidently one of my personal favourites of the 32, but to think of
him referring to it as 'a bad work' is surely going too far. Now the
'Waldstein' well that's another story.

Hello
When one hears the expression: "Glen Gould didn't like such and such a
piece." Should this be taken as gospel, i.e. that the piece is no good, or
with a very large pinch of salt?
Also is it known whether Gould 'didn't like' Beethoven's Diabelli
Variations
or is there another reason why he never recorded them?
Regards
Peter Lyon
