I really don't like those ideas comparing Speaking to singing/playing. "If you speak to slow, it's uninteresting". That, for me, means that you always play everything in a moderate tempo. Never too fast, cause then none can hear you, not very loud or quiet... It's so much about what piece you're playing. And what kind of speech? A politician doesn't speak the same way as a teacher, and so on...I really think it's stupid. Compare it to singing, if you really have to compare it.
In speaking, do we really need to hear every single syllable? No, we don't. We comprehend speech in chunks that get the idea across, not at the phonemic level. Just as you are reading this, you are not reading individual letters but the combination of words in a sentence. You are also not reading this slowly so that you are aware of every single letter. This is why music is much faster than you think it is even though most people never get music to the correct tempi.
So not only should he play it way faster, but also less articulated?
Btw, how about adagio? it's not very natural to speak very slow either? But I guess you've got some Great idea about that as well.
Please play it much faster; It is much too slow and drags.

Faulty: Are you really this stupid, irl, or are you just trying to make a discussion? Clearly, you don't understand what Gould do with Bach. Almost every other pianist thinks he's the best Bach interpreter, but you says (almost like if it was a fact) that he's bad. And therefore, you're right, and everyone else are idiots?!Edit:I recently blurred through some posts, and discovered your thoughts about playing winter wind.You said you could master it in a week, if you only practise right (you never said How, though...). Do you actually think we'll take you seriously?
