Glenn Gould Books

Glenn Gould was a Canadian pianist, celebrated particularly for his interpretations of Johann Sebastian Bach's keyboard works. His playing was distinguished by remarkable technical proficiency and a unique ability to articulate the polyphonic textures inherent in Bach's music. While Bach dominated his recordings, Gould's repertoire was diverse, encompassing works by composers such as Beethoven, Mozart, and 20th-century figures. After the age of 31, Gould abandoned live concerts to focus entirely on studio recording and other ventures, including writing, composing, and broadcasting.
