Extractions: Glenn Gould was a famous Canadian classical pianist who, by the age of 23, was filling concert halls with audiences eager to hear his interpretations of the works of composers such as Bach, Beethoven and Schoenberg. He received international acclaim performing in Europe, and was the first pianist from North America to perform in the Soviet Union. Gould's interest in music was highly developed at an early age, as is shown by this manuscript, written when he was eight years old. Gould's transcription of Wagner's Siegfried Idyll for piano continued a nineteenth-century tradition which took advantage of the ready availability of pianos to bring versions of orchestral works to a wider audience. His transcription gives us insight into his processes of thinking about the piano. Richard Wagner wrote the

Extractions: I was only living in Canada for three years, at age 7, having come from Hong Kong, when Glenn Gould died. That was in 1982. This doesn't mean anything, except that I'm in somewhat awe thinking that for a brief period, him and I were living in the same city. Now, fifteen years later, I have become an avid (some say obsessed) fan of his work. Glenn Gould, some may argue, is a culture (he would prefer sub-culture) of all things "Gould-ian" , a culture which, I'm afraid, I'm addicted to. y ou see, it seems like from my reading and experience at least for those whom Gould's work means something, it does so in more than just an ordinary way. And I'm certainly no exception. But it didn't begin like that, a love at first hearing. My first encounter with Gould was in a university cultural studies course, when my professor decided to show an excerpt (bless his soul) of Glenn Gould: Off the Record (National Film Board of Canada), a documentary on the Canadian pianist in the fifties. And since then several pilgrimages have taken place to see his pianos (one in the National Library in Ottawa; the other, on display at the G. Gould studio, part of the CBC building, in Toronto), his chair (also in Ottawa), and, of course, his gravesite in Mount Pleasant Cementary, Toronto.

Extractions: Ein Portrait zum 20. Todestag des Pianisten am 4. Oktober 1982 / Von Max Nyffeler Am 5. Oktober wird sein Leichnam im Humphrey Funeral Home aufgebahrt, am 15. findet in der anglikanischen Church of St. Paul die Gedenkfeier statt, an der 3000 Personen teilnehmen, darunter der kanadische Premierminister sowie der Anführer der Oppositionspartei: Es wird die Old Hundredth Hymn, Glenn Goulds Lieblingshymne, gesungen, die berühmte Sopranistin Maureen Forrester singt "Have Mercy" aus der Matthäus-Passion, es folgen etliche religiöse Gesänge und Gebete. 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. Mittendrin in dieser vom Radio übertragenen Totenfeier die öffentliche Schallplatten-Premiere der letzten Aufnahme. Welcher PR-Mann bekäme da nicht leuchtende Augen! Product Placement nach allen Regeln der Kunst. Eine unbezahlte Bandenwerbung, ein Image- und Identifikationstransfer wie aus dem Bilderbuch.

Extractions: On that occasion Gould performed Beethovens Fourth Piano Concerto, amazing the audience by his personal approach to this immortal score, courageously changing its rhythmic content. Such statements reveal the greatness of the performer, as those who go beyond preconceived patterns and clichès are generally defined mad. But Szell, by using the word genius, highlighted the artists uniqueness and interpretational courage. Gould succeeded in astonishing the academic world with extremely personal performances. He tried to free the minds of listeners and experts of those interpretative parametres which, to him, were only limits to music, with the new sounds he spasmodically sought. Evidence of his precocious genius and his tenacious study of the piano is that at the age of ten he was well versed in J.S. Bachs Well-Tempered Harpsichord, which proves that he already possessed a clear idea of how to build a solid musical structure.

Extractions: Comments/Inquiries Medium Film Keywords Children Disability Family Relationships Humor and Illness/Disability ... Stroke Summary A tiny figure slowly emerges from a vast expanse of snow, and a succession of short essays recreate moments in the life of the brilliant Canadian pianist, Glenn Gould (Colm Feore). From his unusual Ontario childhood to his musical debuts on the international stage, to his eccentric living, performing, dressing, driving, waking, and sleeping habits, this film offers insights into his loneliness, hypochondria, polypharmacy, and tragic death from a stroke at age 50 in 1982. The artistic vignettes are enriched by a tender humour, the intimate recollections of real-life friends, the abstract beauty of piano keys in motion, and above all, Gould's immortal playing. Commentary Gould's musical genius was well tempered by his foibles. Did he cease performing in public from his professed conviction that recordings were better? Or, was he afraid? If he preferred his unending solitude, why did he find it necessary to phone friends at 3 a.m. and talk at them until they fell asleep? Was hypochondria the disease for which he took hundreds of different types of prescription medications? Or, was it somehow a futile, preventive response to an uncanny premonition of his sudden end?

Extractions: Research and Information Services Did you ever wonder how tall Glenn Gould was or what colour his eyes were? Are you interested in knowing what his advice to graduating conservatory students was, or hearing archival recordings of the pianist unavailable anywhere else? Perhaps the thought of off-beat photos of Gould disguised as some of the fictitious personae he assumed from time to time, or reading a doctors analysis of what kind of patient the inveterate hypochondriac was, might pique your curiosity. All of these items, and many more, are now available in the comfort of your own home via the Internet. The National Library of Canadas (NLC) Glenn Gould Archive is an extensive site on the World Wide Web which is drawing increasing interest and praise. magazine (May 15, 1998) invites "lovers of Glenn Gould [to] curl up in front of their computers as their idol did at the piano" to visit the "documents, photographs and recordings [which] bring back to life the famous pianist on the Web". We hope that Gould himself, an outspoken apologist for the electronic media, would appreciate the NLCs use of the Internet to disseminate information and documentation found in his archives. We could think of no Canadian more appropriate for our first archival Web site. A quick survey of the digital Glenn Gould Archive yields the following highlights:
