I'm relatively new to Gould's world (except the Goldberg's). I was
wondering, if any recordings exist of him improvising -- or
semi-improvising. I just read Otto Friedrich's biography, and get it he was
quite extraordinary at it (although he apparently didn't think much of it as
an art form -- which, I guess, makes perfectly sense, Gould being
Gould......).

The main collection is here: http://www.gould.nlc-bnc.ca/ra/real.htm

And then there are the Mozart C minor concerto, the Bach violin sonatas with Laredo, the Bach chromatic fantasy, the Bach English suite in D minor, ..., his reductions of orchestral works and operas, ..., and his letters.
