	Buchbesprechung - Thomas Bernhard: Der Untergeher
		Glenn Gould macht aus seinem Körper eine Maschine und stirbt schon mit 51 an einem Schlaganfall.
		Glenn Gould erreicht sein Ziel, perfekt Klavier zu spielen, doch dafür übt er rücksichtslos gegen sich und spielt Jahrzehnte lang die Goldbergvariationen, als habe er kein Interesse mehr an der Musik, sondern feiere mit der permanenten Wiederholung seiner Perfektion nur noch sich selbst (1).
		Glenn Gould war ein äußerst vielseitiger und kreativer Pianist, der ein Klavierstück vollkommen verschieden interpretieren konnte und sich dabei oft weit von den Vorgaben des Komponisten entfernte.

	GLENN GOULD
		Glenn Gould was born in Toronto on 25 September 1932 into a musical family: Edvard Grieg was a first cousin of his mother's grandfather, his father was an amateur violinist, and his mother played piano and organ.
		Gould viewed the two interpretations as substantially different because he came to see the Variations not as separate and distinct exercises but as belonging to a larger whole, with one rhythmic pulse, harmony, and ideology underlying the entire work and forming a definite unity of composition.
		Glenn Gould gathered a large and loyal group of friends with whom he remained in contact over the telephone and whom he received in Toronto with eager enthusiasm.

	Glenn Gould - an Appreciation (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Gould by his very nature was never content with the orthodox; at his own insistence it had to be the Goldberg variations he recorded, not the more familiar French suites or Partitas.
		Gould was born with the gift to communicate; not only through the music he played but in the media of radio and television too.
		Gould's musical tastes were eclectic, of that there is no doubt; but he loved the late romantics ardently and was able to recall many of Strauss' and Wagner's operas, and Mahler's and Bruckner's symphonies from memory.

	Glenn Gould - MSN Encarta
		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 love of counterpoint and his fascination with recording techniques came together in three remarkable radio documentaries on the subject of solitude: “The Idea of North” (1967), “The Latecomers” (1969), and “The Quiet in the Land” (1977).
		Gould created these documentaries by interweaving the voices of people he had interviewed (omitting his own voice) so that they appeared to be in conversation with each other, or talking over each other.

	READ Magazine \| Glenn Gould
		Gould was not a tactile or experiential thinker; rather, he dwelt deeply within the recesses of his own interior world.
		Gould used the natural world as a backdrop to drive his imagination, yet did not require any proof or evidence of its actual existence.
		Gould once defined art as “the gradual, lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity.” He understood the great joy of being able to transform a pure abstract concept into a thing of tangible beauty.

	A Glenn Gould Survey: The Music Through 1750
		Gould is one of the few performers who does, however, meet the composer as an equal, with his titanic mind, artistry and technique up to the interpretive task of re-creating the music at hand.
		Gould 'corrected' in his 1981 recording what he took to be the unevenness in meter approach in his debut album, but I gravitate to the earlier one of these framing statements on counterpoint.
		Glenn Gould's philosophy of the solo concerto (akin to his animosity for the cult of virtuosity) runs counter to pretty much the entire musical establishment as constructed by performers, conductors, critics and audiences.

	The Glenn Gould Edition, Classical Notes, Peter Gutmann
		Glenn Gould had electrified the world of classical music and catapulted to fame in 1955 at the age of 22 with his phonographic debut of Bach's Goldberg Variations (on ML-5060).
		Gould's records were unified by his unique sound, a bizarre blend of perfection and indifference.
		Gould is strikingly different: the composer is filtered through the strong, and occasionally overwhelming, personality of the performer.

		Glenn Herbert Gould was born in Toronto on September 25, 1932, and died in the same city October 4, 1982.
		Gould, himself, minimized the importance of his piano lessons, but fellow pupil John Beckwith attributed Gould's position at the piano, the angle of his fingers to the keyboard, and his pure finger technique to Guerrero's teaching.
		To Gould, the greatest influences of his youth were the playing of Artur Schnabel, which showed a greater respect for the music than for its medium, the piano; Rosalyn Tureck, for her approach to Bach; and the organ, which he credited as the basis of both his piano technique and his interpretations of Bach.

	Glenn Gould Summary (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Gould also recorded pieces by many prominent piano composers, though he was outspoken in his criticism of some of them, apparently not caring for Frédéric Chopin, for example.
		Gould claimed this singing was unconscious, and increased proportionately with the inability of the piano in question to realise the music as he intended.
		Glenn Gould's eccentricities such as his rocking and humming, his isolation and difficulty with social interaction, and the uncanny focus and technical ability he displayed in music making can, according to Maloney, be related to the symptoms displayed by persons with Asperger's.

	Glenn Gould: Musical Individualist
		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.
		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.
		Although Gould never accepted students, he emphasized to those who did that "your success as teachers would very much depend upon the degree to which the singularity, the uniqueness, of the confrontation between yourselves and each one of your students is permitted to determine your approach to them" (Gould 5).

		Gould was born in Toronto, Ontario on September 25, 1932, the product of a musical family which included his father, an amateur violinist, and his mother, a pianist and organist; Edvard Grieg was a distant relation as well.
		Even at the age of three, Gould's prodigious skills were evident -- in addition to his absolute pitch, he was already able to read staff notation, and just two years later he authored his first compositions.
		Gould's decision to retire from live performances was in part a result of his desire to focus more of his energies on writing, broadcasting, composing and conducting; his first major new project was a "sound documentary" called The Idea of North, a philosophical musing on the meaning of northern existence.

	Denis Dutton on Glenn Gould
		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.
		Glenn Gould was in certain respects both a romantic and an idealist.
		Gould’s unending effort to achieve ecstasy by his own lights in whatever way he thought it might be revealed in a score, coupled with his refusal to bow to any tradition of performance, is the source of so much of the critical nonsense that has been written about him over the years.

	Gould, Glenn. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		A great pianist, Gould was particularly noted for his interpretations of Bach and the romantics.
		As a composer, Gould was influenced by the postromantic music of the late 19th cent.

		Glenn Gould was a child prodigy and a musical genius.
		Glenn Gould was, by all accounts, a fascinating and extraordinary man, but difficult to know ; apart from his art, he was renowned for his perceived eccentricity, his reclusiveness, and his wish to keep his private life entirely hidden and separate from his public persona.
		Gould was, notoriously, considered to be a hypochondriac, although this is not to suggest that his ill-health was imaginary; he did indeed suffer with a number of serious health problems throughout his short life that affected his ability to play the piano.

		Gould's eccentric attitudes and behaviours were well known, but the musical world was astonished when, in his mid-20s, he announced that he had permanently retired from the concert hall.
		Instead, Gould focused on the recording studio, on radio and television, and on exploring his fascination with the relation between audience and performer.
		Especially interesting is Gould's denunciation of much of the Romantic piano literature, and his admission (gasp) that he would occasionally play Chopin for himself at home.

	Glenn Gould: "Goldberg Variations" - Salon
		Glenn Gould was both a child prodigy and a musical genius no one disputes.
		Gould burst onto the scene in 1955 at the age of 22 with his first recording -- Bach's "Goldberg Variations." The youthful vigor with which Gould played Bach was more important than his gorgeous technical proficiency in turning this eccentric, skinny pianist into a pop idol.
		Bach should not be toyed with in such a disrespectful way, the older Gould believed, and in his new recording he would play Bach with the dignity and respect he thought the master deserved.

	Glenn Gould - Weird and Wondrous, Classical Notes, Peter Gutmann
		Gould was a proficient organist and issued the first nine pieces in 1962 but he never resumed the project (nor made any further organ records).
		As for the Strauss, Gould would rise from the dead to challenge any accusation that he was a concert virtuoso, but the ease with which he dispatches this flashy and difficult piece provides proof that he could have had such a career and reputation had he so chosen.
		Gould venerated Schoenberg, and in a brilliant 1964 monograph placed him in a crucial historical role as having simplified the confusing tonal music of his predecessors much as the late Renaissance composers had done with the modal music of their time.
