[f_minor] f_minor Digest, Vol 12, Issue 8

[Elaine Parks]

Hi Professor Wright,
I remembered the name from several books, the one I have handy at the moment is the Otto Friedrick's biography of Gould ("Glenn Gould: A Life and Variations"). Kitty is described as a teacher and translator in Leningrad who wrote to GG praising his performances and encouraging him to come back to visit the USSR again. Their correspondence continued for many years. I expect those letters will be in the archives you're going to search. 
Regards , Elaine

Dear F-minor List,
 
Might anyone on the list know the name Kitty Gvozdeva?  In 1958, the year after his tour of the Soviet Union, GG rec'd a copy of the Scriabin Sonatas bearing an inscription "from Kitty Gvozdeva."  When he recorded the 3rd and 5th Sonatas in the late-60s, he used this score, and wrote extensive comments, performance indications and other glossings into it.
 
I still need to dig through the correspondence held in the GG Fonds at Library and Archives Canada, in the hope that a letter from (or to) Kitty Gvozdeva is there.  B ut I wondered if anyone on the list might recognize this name.
 
Many thanks, in advance, for any help any or you might be able to provide!
 
J.
