| | Glenn Gould - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Gould claimed this singing was unconscious, and increased proportionately with the inability of the piano in question to realise the music as he intended. | | | Gould was known for his vivid musical imagination, and listeners regarded his interpretations as ranging from brilliantly creative to, on occasion, outright eccentric. | | | Glenn Gould talking about and performing music by Bach, Schoenberg, Scriabin, Gibbons, Byrd, Berg, and Wagner. |

| | Glenn Gould (1932-1982), Canadian pianist (see piano), composer, broadcaster, and essayist, known for his vigor and clarity in performing contrapuntal music (music with several simultaneous melodies—see Counterpoint). | | | Gould's principal legacy was his performances of Bach (he recorded virtually all of Bach's nonorgan keyboard music), and one of his last projects was a second recording of the Goldberg Variations (1982). | | | Born in Toronto, Ontario, Gould studied at the Toronto Royal Conservatory of Music from the age of 10 and made his professional performance debut with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra just two years later. |

| | Goldberg Variations by Glenn Gould at jsbach.org |
| | Gould's second recording of the piece, one of the final recordings of his life, sounded an elegant and somewhat spooky coda, as he recapitulated his groundbreaking 1956 performance. | | | Gould has proven himself to be a master when playing contrapuntal music (or, more accurately, of bringing out all the counterpoint of the music he plays, whether necessary or not), and this recording is no exception. | | | Glenn Gould takes all of his years of practice and talent and pours them all into this absolutely fabulous mature recording. |

| | Glenn Gould: Musical Individualist |
| | Gould's concern was the music, and he thought strongly that the crowds who flock to the spectacle of a concert detract from the deeply personal experience of creating or listening to music. | | | Gould is best known as a concert pianist who renounced concertizing, as a puritanical purveyor of Bach who could not help humming along on his recordings, as a thinking man's musician. | | | Indeed, for Gould -- uninterested as he was in the "empiricism" of musical color or the spontaneity of improvisation (excessively so, to my mind, but that is another matter) -- the magic of music simply is the structure, and it is here that judgments of musical value must find their basis. |

| | Denis Dutton on Glenn Gould |
| | Ecstasy for him did not denote a special euphoric emotion that might be produced in the performance — or in listening to the performance — of a piece of music. | | | The young Gould was dismissed as an eccentric, though I had noticed that eccentricity was a virtue when heard in the recordings of the old de Pachmann. | | | As Payzant has shown, he was profoundly anti-competitive in spirit; in music, his only competition was with himself to evoke an ever-clearer conception of the music. |

| | Gould was suddenly a star of the first magnitude, with a best-selling record, a bulging calendar of prestigious appearances stretching years into the future, a magnificent 26-room home on the outskirts of Toronto, and fans who pursued him with the sort of fervor that would later greet the Beatles. | | | Simply put, Gould had become convinced that the recorded media were the future of music; he even went so far as to predict that concerts would die out by the year 2000. | | | As it happened, the later album marked the closing of a circle: Gould died the week it was released. |

| | As a composer, Gould was influenced by the postromantic music of the late 19th cent. | | | He was piano soloist with the Toronto Symphony at 14, and by the time he was 19 he was making concert tours in Canada, soon becoming known for idiosyncratic performance behavior. | | | During the 1960s Gould reduced his concert appearances to a minimum, preferring thereafter to concentrate on recording. |

| | According to his colleagues at the CBC, Gould thought of his radio documentaries as permanent products that would survive to be replayed and studied long after their initial broadcast; in other words, he apparently conceived them for an ideal audience, not for the usual target audience of a radio broadcast, the one-time listener. | | | Among Gould’s papers in the Music Division of the National Library of Canada is a “score” for The Quiet in the Land, a transcript of the whole documentary, complete with detailed notes on musical examples, sound effects, and editing. | | | In this case, Gould was serving as both performer and technician, and in his 1966 article “The Prospects of Recording” he foresaw that the performer’s technical ability to edit his own recordings would someday be transferred to the listener, creating a more critical listening public able to choose what and how they wanted to listen: |
