One of the most intriguing lost programs made by Glenn Gould has just been retrieved on Youtube.

Watch now before someone manages to take it down.

Gould says: ‘I think Mozart, especially in his later years, was not a very good composer’.

He goes on to say: A five year-old could have written this…’

The clue to tongue positioning in cheek may be that phrase ‘in his later years’. Mozart never lived to see later years.
