Ever hear about Glenn Gould and the Horowitz recording?

(This was reported in the New Yorker Magazine in the 1960's).

Glenn Gould walked into a New York recording studio one night to work
out some technical problems on one of his recordings. A musical editor
was there working on a Horowitz recording. The editor was at his wits
end because he couldn't make a certain measure work. Gould walked over
and took over. Master that he was at technical editing, Gould took out a
little bit here and there and merged here and there and then was left
with the piece a little short. He didn't worry about it just said he'd
fill in the missing music. So Gould sat down at the piano and filled in
a few bars of music for Horowitz. So on some Horowitz recording (the
exact one has never been revealed) there is a measure of pure Gould!
