color=#0000ff>Don't make the mistake of believing that GG was stuck on
counterpoint like a fly on sticky paper. Listen then to his sumptuous and
very rarely played by anyone G. Bizet, which is just dripping wet
romanticism. GG had a wider palette than mere architecture. However,
having said that I will add that his mind had the blessing of a deeper than
"normal" perception of musical structures and he was able to use this
preternatural gift in the interpretive arts. What we hear then is GG's
profound sense of how sounds in a piece connect with each other through
thematic roads and motifs. The music he plays is all of a wholeness rather
than fragmented...and that was a gift he used to great success, in my view.

boldness expressed by people like Eno, and especially by Phillip Glass. We

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">As Brian Eno has come
up with his own play on minimalism (and we all know that GG detested it as much
as he detested rock music), somehow I don’t think that Gould would have been an
Eno fan at all! Where in Eno’s work do you find any sort of complex counterpoint
of the type that he relished? No doubt he may have displayed some interest in
Eno’s use of electronics etc; but his music? I don’t think so.
