Attacks on persons are a waste of time, especially in this medium and
interminably excursive as we have seen.
Matt, you don't even know that you're out of your league,    and (

Other newsgroups have been more intelligently shepherding the energy of

I don't understand why people don't like GG's C major prelude.  GG plays
it in a playful and refreshing manner.  The F minor prelude is a little
slow but it doesn't drag on.

I really like Glenn Gould's WTC 1 but there is something different about
his WTC 2 that prevents me from forking over $30.  Maybe it's the
recording sound or Gould's playing changed in the 6 or 7 years between
WTC 1 and WTC 2.
