Well, I have not performed any of his compositions, but I
would still like to pass an opinion.
I truthfully do not like his string quartet piece. When I am
watching 32 Short Films, I usually
skip the scene where it is performed. It sounds messy, just
overall unorganized. The theme is
creepy, but not even in a good way. It sounds as if it
just drones on. (I am sorry Glenn! I love
everything else of yours except this piece.) His brain, it
seems, was designed mainly for the systems
of a piano.

Subject: Re: String quartet
To all the
musicians who've read and rehearsed and performed any of Gould's compositions,
this begs the question: What do you think of them?
Gould's
performances and recordings so overshadow his own ambition to compose that we
rarely discuss the compositions, or never seem to express opinions about
them.
I'd love
to hear some stuff like that.

I got the String Quartet easily through my local sheet music retailer -
they order it via Schott and it arrived fairly briskly as did his Piano
pieces.

Dear
F minors,
I would like to perform Gould's string quartet (op.1 ...)
with friends but I
do not know where to buy the score (I have tried
musicsales.co.uk, but they
only have "So you want to write a fugue?",
and jwpepper does not have it).
Does someone know if this score is
still in print, and where I could get it
?
Thanks for your
cooperation...
