{"product_id":"glenn-gould-reader-isbn-9780679731351","title":"Glenn Gould Reader","description":"As a pianist, Glenn Gould was both a showman and a high priest, an artist whose devotion to music was so great that he eschewed the distractions of live performance. That same combination of flamboyance and aesthetic rigor may be found in this collection of Gould’s writings, which covers composers from Bach to Terry Riley, performers from Arthur Rubinstein to Petula Clark, and yields unfettered and often heretical opinions on music competitions, the limitations of live audiences, and the relationship between technology and art. Witty, emphatic, and finely honed, \u003ci\u003eThe Glenn Gould Reader\u003c\/i\u003e presents its author in all his guises as an impassioned artist, an omnivorous listener, and an astute and deeply knowledgeable critic.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Glenn Gould Reader\u003c\/i\u003e abounds with the literary voice of one of the most extraordinary musical talents of our time. Whether Gould’s subject is Boulez, Stokowski, Streisand, or his own highly individual thoughts on the performance and creation of music, the reader will be caught up in his intensity, intelligence, passion and devotion. For those who never knew him, this book will be a particular treasure as a companion to his recordings and as the delicious discovery of a new friend.\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments       \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/i\u003e    \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePROLOGUE\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003ci\u003eAdvice to a Graduation\u003c\/i\u003e          \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART ONE\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003ci\u003eMusic\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e                                                                        \u003cbr\u003eWilliam Byrd and Orlando Gibbons                   \u003cbr\u003eDomenico Scarlatti                                           \u003cbr\u003eArt of the Fugue\u003cbr\u003eThe “Goldberg” Variations \u003cbr\u003eBodky on Bach\u003cbr\u003eOf Mozart and Related Matters: Glenn Gould in Conversation with Bruno \u003cbr\u003e   Monsaingeon \u003cbr\u003eGlenn Gould Interviews Himself About Beethoven         \u003cbr\u003eBeethoven’s \u003ci\u003ePathétique\u003c\/i\u003e, “Moonlight,” and “Appassionata” Sonatas \u003cbr\u003eBeethoven’s Last Three Piano Sonatas \u003cbr\u003eBeethoven’s Fifth Symphony in the Piano:  Four Imaginary Reviews \u003cbr\u003eSome Beethoven and Bach Concertos\u003cbr\u003eN’aimez-Vous Pas Brahms?     \u003cbr\u003eShould We Dig Up the Rare Romantics?. . .
