Extractions: GLENN GOULD From the late 1950's until his death in 1982, Glenn Gould was the most famous Canadian "classical" musician in Canada. Born in Toronto, Canada, on September 25th, 1932, Glenn Herbert Gould was first taught to play the piano by his mother. He developed great talents as a pianist and became a Canadian celebrity before he was 20, and an internationally famous concert pianist before he was 30. Even though he was a great success, he wanted to be more than just a pianist. He wanted to be a conductor, a commentator, and a composer. He once referred to himself as a composer who plays the piano. While Gould was familiar with a great variety of music, piano music in particular, he concentrated on a limited number of composers. He recorded music by many different composers, but he focused mainly on Bach, Beethoven, and Schoenberg. In 1964 he gave up giving public performances to concentrate on making recordings. His friends thought he would no longer be famous. However, as well as making recordings, he wrote many essays and produced radio and television programs. He also composed music for three films. Through these different media he helped other people experience music in a new light. Veronica Xavier, an artist who painted several pictures of Glenn Gould, said, "I'll never forget the first time I heard Glenn Gould play. It was as though someone had pulled a heavy curtain away, and suddenly I could see the radiance of what was on the outside."

Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould (1993) Thirty Two Short Films About glenn gould, a stunningly successful illuminationof one complex pianist, is just such an enlightenment. http://www.film.u-net.com/Movies/Reviews/Thirty_Two_Films.html
Extractions: Occasionally in life you get to stumble across something both novel and of great personal significance. So, not just the opening of another fad restaurant or the latest games craze then, but an event that transports you beyond once confining boundaries. Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould , a stunningly successful illumination of one complex pianist, is just such an enlightenment. Though nominally biographic, in practice the film steers well clear of dusty reminiscence and faded film clips; instead director François Girard harmonises what might have been a cacophony of reflections on Gould's life. In this way Girard evokes rather than explains. Now, as you might expect, Gould's playing forms the film's core, a hub around which all understanding necessarily revolves. After all without this, the name Gould would have no public meaning. Thankfully the pieces chosen by Girard are uplifting, emotionally intense and destined to make you yearn for the real thing. Gould's interpretation, as no doubt scores have already noted, is warm and supple, technically remarkable yet never alienating; one could absorb this talent forever, never weary or bored. Clearly Girard made the correct (if inevitable) decision when he elected to use only original Gould pieces. And yet, the film is only tangentially about Gould's music and so it never grows to become the dominant theme; there are other paths by which a fan can approach this maestro!
Extractions: The Canadian pianist Glenn Gould burst onto the aural scene in 1955 with his ear-opening recording of the Bach Goldberg Variations. Now jocular, now limpid, by turns pensive and danceable , Gould's performance was a young man's discovery and celebration of life in one of the monuments of human art. As often happens with such monuments, so much serious scholarship and reverential playing had accreted to the Goldberg Variations that, until Gould, people had forgotten that it was a work of profound, though not unalloyed, joy. Thirty years later, shortly before his death, Gould recorded the variations again. If the 1955 version was a spring day in the Bavarian Alps, the 1985 version was a winter night beside the frozen Baltic Sea. Same music, same pianist, same world. But. But. In that "but" lies mystery, much the same mystery that we encounter in quantum physics, observing the electron just before and just after a quantum leap. What happens in that interim? Where does it happen? How? Why? Since Gould showed the listening world that there was a great deal more to Bach than stereotypical teutonic stoicism, other pianists, generally possessed of more bravado and a lot less talent, have had a go at the piece with decidedly mixed results.

Dann tritt Stille ein: Zum ersten Mal ertönt öffentlich die Aria der neuen Goldberg-Einspielung und erfüllt die Kirche. Die Zeremonie wird mit einer Stunde Verzögerung von CBC übertragen. Glenn Gould wird in der Nähe seiner Mutter auf dem Mount Pleasant Cemetery beigesetzt. Die Abschiedfeier, über die hier ein Chronist berichtet, war trotz des riesigen Publikumsandrangs vermutlich ziemlich schlicht gehalten. Sie beschränkte sich auf die notwendigen kirchlichen Rituale und ließ der Musik, die dem Künstler geistige Heimat war, gebührend Raum.

Smith On Bach's Art of the Fugue by John Stone Search for sheet music on the Art of Fugue. The Bach's Art of Fugue in MIDI files When I first watched this hour-long video that alternates between discussion and performance of J.S. Bach's fugues, I was completely astonished by Gould's prodigious intellect, memory, and eloquence. Set entirely in a studio with Glenn Gould, his Steinway, and the video's director, Bruno Monsaingeon, An Art of the Fugue (1980) features fascinating discussions on counterpoint, Bach's career, as well as the technique, historical context and meaning of fugal composition. Gould speaks with phenomenal authority on the subjects at hand, and more extraordinarily, seems to have the entire Bach oeuvre at his disposal, and can demonstrate on the piano any composition Monsaingeon mentions in passing, and from any point within the work. In a number of deliciously strange moments, Gould will play for a while and then suddenly resume conversation, all the while continuing the complex fugue with his fingers. Later, I learned that everything down to the twists and turns of the conversation and the musical examples (no matter how off-the-cuff seeming) had been scripted and scrupulously carried out after a long rehearsal process. What appears as a quasi-documentary is indeed edited from numerous takes from multiple sessions. Gould literally force-feeds Monsaingeon his reactions, viewpoints, and musical references. What we have then is Gould using Monsaingeon as a prompt and fall guy for his own arguments on fugue and Bach.

Extractions: Add KunstderFuge.com to favorites Search for other fugue Treatises and Reviews Request to have your own written works published The Canadian Glenn Gould was, for a while, the James Dean of the piano. Smitten girls, drawn to his disheveled good looks and rebellious image, snapped up his groundbreaking 1955 LP recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations that featured a cover with 32 photos of the 23 year old prodigy, shown transported, ecstatic, dancing, conducting himself, singing, even playing the piano. By the release of a 1981 recording of the same work (which would turn out to be his last), Gould had inadvertently fostered another kind of image: brooding, bloated, staring at his listeners from an LP jacket with a magisterial and piercing gaze, he was now an eccentric genius, a freakish hypochondriac with as many idiosyncrasies as a piano has keys. But even he did not fathom the depths of his own popularity: his untimely death from a stroke in 1982 at the age of 50 was cause for a national and international outpouring of grief. The world had lost another icon. Gould's artistry was always appreciated in his time by fellow musicians, critics, and devotees of classical music. But this appreciation was also colored during his life by the sensation that surrounded his youth, the scandal that greeted his decision in 1964 to cease all concertizing, and the noisy chatter responding to his idiosyncrasies throughout the remaining years he devoted to studio recording. Two decades since his death, and the dross and drivel attached to his public and secluded life have mostly fallen away. What remains is a general critical consensus that Gould was one of the greatest pianists of the 20th Century.

The 32 parts play out key moments of Gould's life without stringing them together. They go from realistic (a scene in a Hamburg hotel in which Gould turns a maid on to the wonder of music) to nihilistic (a segment solely made up of the drugs Gould presumably took). Stratford actor Colm Feore is quite good as the slyly introverted, soft-spoken figure, although this film is more of an examination of loneliness than of music. The key question is, Does this docudrama enlighten us better than a straightforward documentary on Gould would? Probably not. Doug Thomas Customer Reviews: Avg. Customer Rating:

Extractions: Globe and Mail , March 11, 1998) The great hall of the Moscow Conservatory was only half filled on May 7, 1957, the first night of Glenn Gould's first European tour. At the age of 24 Gould was already well launched in North America, having played with the New York Philharmonic under Leonard Bernstein and recorded Bach's Goldberg Variations. But in Russia he was largely unknownuntil the May 7 concert changed everything. News of his talent flashed around Moscow, and tickets for his remaining concerts sold out the next day. He "became famous literally overnight," according to Sofia Moshevich, a pianist who grew up in the Soviet Union and now lives in Toronto. She discusses Gould's Russian trip, a great event in Canadian cultural history, in an article for GlennGould , the twice-yearly magazine of the Gould Foundation (P.O. Box 190, 260 Adelaide Street East, Toronto M5A 1N1). An engaging combination of scholarship and nostalgia, GlennGould resurrects obscure Gould interviews and reviews, covers new Gould books, announces events like the international Gould conference in Toronto in September, 1999, and charts the progress of his reputation around the world. The issue containing the Russian piece also has a fascinating article about Gould's status in Japan, written by Junichi Miyazama, the writer and critic who regularly translates Gould material into Japanese.
