Hi List, I just came across a great article by Charles Rosen on the issue of privacy and how it realted to Bach's ability as a composer. Read the article with Gould in mind and I think you'll see many connections. http://www.nybooks.com/nyrev/WWWfeatdisplay.cgi?20001221036F PS: is it okay if I wish a shy someone on the list a happy birthday? It is? Thanks. Happy Birthday.
