<DIV>Hi Elaine and all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>AROTL! In this book Katie Hafner unfolds the brilliantly
entwined stories of Glenn Gould, Vern Edquist, Steinway &
Son's, and most importantly, </DIV>
<DIV>the beloved piano CD318. It's a must-read page turner to which I will
definitely go back over and over again. </DIV>

<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD vAlign=top>I'm not sure how familiar everyone is with Katie Hafner's
terrific book "A Romance on Three Legs: GG's Obsessive Quest for the
Perfect Piano". It's a must-read for those of you who actually play the
piano professionally and a really interesting book for the rest of us.
Anyway she describes Tureck literally experiencing a revelation about
Bach's music which led to her knowing she "had to create an entirely new
technique for playing the piano as a result"; and also that she certainly
did some trailblazing in playing the Goldbergs at Juilliard. Hafner does
say Tureck was "put out by Gould's achievement" and her Bach became
"yesterday's news" when his Goldbergs album made him a star.
<DIV><BR>
<DIV>I think it's somewhere in a radio interview Tureck very graciously
says something to the effect that she's flattered by Gould's praise of her
Bach; in another book (sorry I don't remember which at the moment) it's
recalled she said more bitterly "he played them the way I did" or close to
those words. One has to feel for her.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>To return to Katie Hafner's book, she writes about GG's superhuman
speed and that "Gould's playing resembled Tureck's, but his tone was more
seductive, and his approach, especially in terms of rhythm, was more
dynamic...with one recording GG proved that he could play the piano like
nobody else in the world".</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Personally I find her version very beautiful and other-worldly (is
that a word?!) But I find his mesmerizing. Maybe it can rightly be said
that without her example, his GVs wouldn't have been the way they
were.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>That book gets a lot into the mechanics of how pianos were/are made
and what different famous pianists liked in the action/tone/keys etc. of
their pianos; and how a tuner spends literally dozens of years perfecting
his or her craft. Amazing stuff.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Cheers, Elaine</DIV>

<BR>Subject: Re: [f_minor] Tureck and Gould<BR><BR><BR>
Indeed GG credits Tureck with having greatly ifluenced his
playing of Bach. You can find one of these instances in Jonathan Cott's
interviews ("Conversations with Glenn Gould"): "I did like Tureck's
recordings enormously - Tureck influenced me...she was the first person
who played Bach in what seemed to me a sensible way...playing of such
uprightness". <BR><BR><BR> Cheers,

I'm not going to be banging on about this forever but if while you're
listening to this you are not also in mind of Gould's 1981-82 recording
then pardon me but you haven't listened to Gould's second Goldberg.
