current thread of conversation<br><br>As always, please try to keep it Gould-related.<br><br>In Wondrous Strange, I recall Bazzana saying that Scriabian's sonata #1<br>(opus #1? Something #1) was considered one of the hardest piano pieces<br>out there. And noted that Gould had several splices in his recording,<br>implying that they there were there because of mistakes and not artistic<br>choices, though he didn't explain why he came to that conclusion.<br><br>Cheers,<br>k<br><br><br></div></div><div style="position:fixed"></div>
