<DIV>these " thumping " or " pounding " references to either gg's
harpsichord or piano playing are beginning to get a bit tiresome.
YOU might want to live in a world inhabited exclusively by the likes of lionel
party, but please, leave me out. i prefer gg's emotional bluster to
effete intellectual purity anytime. </DIV>

seeing any mention of Gould playing the clavichord, anywhere in the Gould
literature that I've seen. Given the way he hit that Wittmayer
"harpsichord" too hard, pounding the jacks into the rail, I don't think he had
any clue about playing the clavichord or using its fingerings, either.
:)<BR><BR>Wanna hear somebody hit a clavichord hard? Oscar Peterson's
album of "Porgy and Bess", accompanied by Joe Pass on guitar. The person
in charge of the clavichord said later that they'd had to retune the instrument
after every take, because Peterson was bending the strings so much with his
touch.<BR><BR>Brad Lehman<BR><BR></DIV></DIV>
