AW: [F_minor] The intentionalist fallacy and Glenn's humming.
Gday fminor,
I must admit that I like the humming, it was one of the first
things i noticed when I put on a GG album for the very first time
(obvious, innit). I came from the Punk Rock Movement to the Classical
Crowd and was afraid that this crowd would be a bit stiff,
conservative and so on. GGs humming convinced me that this stiffness
was not required
Philosophical question: If the intention of the artist is not the
only valid reading, what is then ? The Audience ? The Listener ? I
for one have my doubts about that.
Gould without the humming would be like a cannibalzied version of
Citzizen Kane in color, The Twilight Zone without Rod Serling etc.
GG expressed his joy and passion for the music by humming.
Period.
Not that I have anything against someone like Jewgeni Kissin or
Keith Jarret, but I have not heard them hum.

Re: the Gouldian 'hum' (bug). (Which I will admit I like but..)
How about the intentionalist fallacy. The intention of the artist
is not the only valid reading.
But if you are feeling lonely and put on Glenn, hums and all, it is
kind of comforting. Like another person in the room. Or is that to
mystical for some.
