Re: [F_minor] Gould in Calgary, 1959

[Matthew Harding <matthew.harding@ktlgroup.ca>]

Hello Julie. I have listed that Glenn played Feb.2 1959 at Calgary,  
but I have no details of the programme.

I also have listed that Glenn played January 31, 1959 in Edmonton  
(perhaps in the Jubilee Auditorium), but yet strangely, I do not have  
any notes as to that particular program either.

It is highly likely that he did not actually play those recitals - by  
1959 he was well prone to cancelling engagements due to illness  
(perceived or otherwise).

Sorry I could not provide a definitive answer - can anyone else chime  
in?

Incidentally, Glenn did play one time only in Calgary, at a recital  
at the Calgary United Church on Nov.7 1951, for the Calgary Women's  
Musical Club, with quite a busy programme:

Bach's partita no.5, Beethoven's Variation Op.34, Piano Sonatas Op. 
81A, Czerny Variations on a theme by Rode, Brahms Intermezzo Op.117  
No.3, Op.118 No.2, Hindemith Piano Sonata No.3, Beethoven bagatelle  
(encore), Scarlatti Sonatas in F minor and Schoenberg piano pieces Op. 
1 (miniature) as encores.

Hope this helps!
Matthew
