Some Gould Questions



I have a few questions to fellow f-minors...

1.)  In the recent Van Cliburn Piano Competition, many of the competitors
selected to play Ravel's La Valse in their programmes. Now, I don't know of
any transcriptions of this work besides Gould's. So is it possible that the
transcription is indeed, Gould's?

* I would like to add that in many conservatories, the La Valse transcription
is a very popular work that is studied.

2.)  Gould plays a Beethoven piece, midway through this file...

Anybody know what that piece is?
