Questions

[Kot]

Dear all, I have a couple of questions:
a) Does anybody know WHY Glenn Gould did not appreciate Beethoven as a composer? I can't find any info on this issue... Was it just a personal preference matter or something more?
b) Is there a site where I can find more about Paul Lewis, [may be even his own site] (rather than just a brief info on his tours and his bio...)
Thanks to all!

I do not know if this is true. One of Gould's favorite encore pieces was the B-minor bagatella opus 126/4 by Beethoven!
