Re: Book Called "Glenn Gould Piano Solo"
Dear Anne,
I have indeed heard of it, and I long to read it. Alas, my French is
probably not up to the task, and, so far as I know, it has never been
translated. I learned of it in the postscript to Michael Stegemann's
German biography of Gould, and this is what he says:
[Listing all the various books on Gould] "And there was the psychological
study *Glenn Gould piano solo* by Michel Schneider--perhaps the most
fascinating book that had been written about Gould."
Stegemann knows his Gould, and that recommendation is enough for me.
Anybody know of a place from which copies could be ordered?
Robert (dusting off the French dictionary)
P.S. The ultimate best site for used books that I know of is the Adavnced
Book Exchange, which lists the holdings of hundreds of bookstores
world-wide. It also happens to be based in Canada, so I think Canadian
bookstores are well-represented. The URL (I think) is <www.abebooks.com>.
