      <TD vAlign=top>Hi Professor Wright, 
        <DIV><BR></DIV>
        <DIV>I remembered the name from several books, the one I have handy at 
        the moment is the Otto Friedrick's biography of Gould ("Glenn Gould: A 
        Life and Variations"). Kitty is described as a teacher and translator in 
        Leningrad who wrote to GG praising his performances and encouraging him 
        to come back to visit the USSR again. Their correspondence continued for 
        many years. I expect those letters will be in the archives you're going 
        to search. </DIV>
        <DIV><BR></DIV>

          List,<BR><BR>Might anyone on the list know the name Kitty 
          Gvozdeva?  In 1958, the year after his tour of the Soviet Union, 
          GG rec'd a copy of the Scriabin Sonatas bearing an inscription "from 
          Kitty Gvozdeva."  When he recorded the 3rd and 5th Sonatas in the 
          late-60s, he used this score, and wrote extensive comments, 
          performance indications and other glossings into it.<BR><BR>I still 
          need to dig through the correspondence held in the GG Fonds at Library 
          and Archives Canada, in the hope that a letter from (or to) Kitty 
          Gvozdeva is there.  B ut I wondered if anyone on the list might 
          recognize this name.<BR><BR>Many thanks, in advance, for any help any
