[F_MINOR] Gould's Style



Is it known how Gould's style formed? The style is present even in the
very first recordings (like that of the Italian concerto). I wonder whether he
played like that from early childhood, as soon as he started his lessons.
Was it his first teachers' influence?

And how does Gould explain his style himself? Is it really about harpsichord immitation
or is it simply his style without no conscious efforts toward originality?
