	Glenn Gould Summary
		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.
		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.

	Reviews of The Idea of Gould and The Art of Glenn Gould: Reflections of a Musical Genius
		The Idea of Gould represents a personal voyage of discovery for its editor, a Philadelphia nurse who writes that her life was changed by listening to Gould's recordings of Bach's Partitas and the Goldberg Variations.
		Fulford also informs us that "to [Gould], music was like architecture...he thought that very early in his career." The artist's eventual fame resulted to a substantial degree from his structural elucidations of the works he played, an "Apollonian" sensibility that contrasted dramatically with the "Dionysian" approach of the "grand tradition" of piano playing.
		The Art of Glenn Gould: Reflections of a Musical Genius, compiled and edited by John P. Roberts, a former CBC producer and administrator, is a more mainstream book containing a selection of texts either written by Gould or reproduced from broadcast or published interviews he gave.

		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.

		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.
