Re: [F_MINOR] I am to visit Montreal

[Paul Giroux <giroup01@VIDEOTRON.CA>]

Greetings and welcome to Montreal,

You may want to try calling the CBC Audience Relations at 1-866-306-INFO to 
see if they have anything here about GG.  (I called before writing this and 
spent about 10 minutes on hold before being disconnected.) As far as I know 
there is very little.  Next closest possibility would be Ottawa, about two 
hours drive from Montreal, at the National Library.  I was there a few 
weeks ago curious to see anything about GG, and the "only" things on 
display were his chair ( I must have been considered a freak by Security, 
having spent about 20 minutes just looking at it from all angles) and an 
annotaded partition of a Goldberg Variation.

But like you say, Toronto looks good with lots of things GG:

Of course there are the record stores (HMV on Ste-Catherine, Archambault 
downtown, I think on Berri street) and book stores (Chapters, Renaud Bray) 
where you may find books and CDs.

I did try to locate concerts in Montreal during your stay here, some Bach 
and Beethoven:

The bigger orchestras, l'Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal and l'Orchestre 
Métropolitain do not show any program during your stay. Other venues I 
looked at, Maison des Arts de Ste-Adele (Yamaha piano),  Théatre du 
Vieux-Terrebonne, Maison Tresstler (Fazioli piano) unfortunately do not 
show anything.

If you play piano perhaps we can get together and I'll try to sneak you in 
to some practice room at the University where I'm taking music courses on 
Tuesday nights.

Enjoy your stay.


Paul
