Summary |
Part 1: The conversation itself is triggered by Gould's often repeated contention that with the era of electronics the concert hall is outmoded. Gould performs Beethoven's 32 variations and other musical excerpts. Part 2: Gould provides his thoughts on why Beethoven is so central to the Western musical experience. |
