Glenn Gould
Pianist, 1932-1982
Glenn Gould war einer der bekanntesten klassischen Pianisten des 20. Jahrhunderts und kongenialer Interpret der Werke Johann Sebastian Bachs. Goulds Spiel zeichnete sich durch eine bemerkenswerte Technik und die Fähigkeit aus, Bachs Kontrapunktik zu artikulieren. Den größten Teil der romantischen Klavierliteratur lehnte er zugunsten von Bach, Beethoven und wenigen spätromantischen und modernistischen Komponisten ab. Er war bekannt für seine Exzentrizität, von seinen musikalischen Interpretationen bis hin zu Aspekten seines Lebensstils. Ab dem Alter von 31 Jahren gab er keine Konzerte mehr, um sich auf Studioaufnahmen, schriftstellerische und kompositorische Projekte zu konzentrieren.

Nice head and shoulders profile portrait of Gould seated at the piano. Profoundly gifted Canadian pianist, composer, and commentator (1932–1980) who takes a place among most visionary performing artists in the history of music. After giving up a successful concert career in 1964, Gould devoted the remainder of his life to recording and producing radio documentaries on a wide variety of topics. Though he had a wide-ranging and often unconventional repertoire, he remains best known for his timeless interpretations of Bach. Though incredibly gifted, Gould—like most creative geniuses—also had a few personal quirks that were difficult to overlook. For example, he disliked social functions and being touched, and would often cancel performances at the last minute. Near the end of his life he limited personal contact, relying instead on the telephone or letters for communication. The year Gould signed this image is also the year of one of the most bizarre tales involving the pianist. During a visit to historic Steinway Hall in New York City, the chief piano technician slapped Gould on the back as a greeting. Gould complained of aching, lack of coordination, and fatigue due to the incident, and threatened a lawsuit against Steinway & Sons if his apparent injuries were permanent! Items signed by Gould are few and far between, and very seldom offered for sale.
