Dear Matthew (if that is your real name...)
        You aren't the first person to conceive of this trick, in case
you're wondering. (Did my response to your post give that away?) Ask

that this example was partly a myth, or that the actual Gould quite cannily
orchestrated his public image and record sales. ...Bernhard didn't need
Glenn Gould, he needed the "idea of Glenn Gould" -- the "thought vehicle"
with which he could spin out his own literary variation..."
