R: of course people would find glenn sexy

[madiva@WORKING.IT]

I agree in part with this point of view.
The Music touch the intimate soul and  evoke any nuance of sensations and
sentiments.
 I found that in the romantics pieces  (Beethoven, Brahms...) the Gould's
approach to
the instrument was passionate  and could reveal  a subliminal expression of
"sexual love" .
