<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>

text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"<BR><BR><BR>Dear F-minor
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
or you might be able to provide!<BR><BR>J.<BR><BR>James K. Wright,
