<DIV><FONT size=4>It's still September 25th in the US and Canada as I write this
email and so with that let us celebrate the 78th anniversary of Glenn Gould's
birthday - I am listening to my favorite GG album featuring Sibelius!

attended a concert of chamber music played on instruments from the 19th
century and a Paul McNulty fortepiano. After the concert I walked to my bus
stop and found a man waiting there with a tuba case in tow. We spoke, as one
will do, and to my utter astonishment it turned out that he is from Winnipeg
and plays with The Salvation Army Band. Well you could have knocked me over
with a feather. Far far away from Canada there he stood waiting for a bus - an
unwitting recipient of Gould's posthumous largesse (I assume he receives some
sort of salary). Of course I spoke to him of the Glenn Gould 50/50
"unfortunate people and unfortunate animals" last will and testament about
which he knew nothing at all. Strange that. </FONT><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt" size=4 face="Times New Roman"><BR></FONT><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt" size=4 face="Times New Roman"><BR></FONT><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt" size=4 face="Times New Roman">I listened to Haydn
played on a fortepiano earlier this evening in a small room with parquet floor
and wooden ceiling (an unfortunate honey bee happened to be trapped inside
with us, flying from chandelier to chandelier) and the gorgeous perfume of
wood wax-oil in my nostrils. I'm listening to Gould's Haydn The Six Last
Sonatas now and there's no question that Haydn would have played this double
lp over and over again and would have wanted more. </FONT><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt" size=4 face="Times New Roman">I really wish there was
