Gould/Chopin

[Marcos Mosquera Castell <mjmc@arrakis.es>]

hi Fminors, here again.
i think that the same concept of romanticism is a very problematic one. Wht
to say then about the romantic pathos in GG ?no doubt about he has one, at
least a pathos;  but how did he serve in his music conceptions?
If romanticism is defined like the tendency at intimacy and contemplation,
not a desborded emotion, but  emotion it self converted in a medium of
knoweledge,  G has the optima  qualities to make this alchemy possible.
Exactly in the same way than Chopin when said the piano was his second ego,
or the mirror in what to glimpse the abys of own soul and life. The
distance beetwen G. and Ch. is more a question of geometry of emotions and
nature; but always we can get a tangent on it, possible the Bminor sonata.
Best regard,
Marcos
