<DIV>Hi all</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As for the cutting and splicing: I have said it before, I will say it again
though it is futile: It’s a bloody shame Mr Gould never saw the first Fairlight
samplers (which came out shotrly after his death) or stuff like ProTools,
Cubase, FL Studio or bloody autotune. He would find all that
extrordinarily remarkable to say the least. Stuff like the four-handed Wagner or
Idea of North or any of Mr. Goulds trickstery could be done with so much ease
these days.....</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Ah yes, Wagner.....a tricky case, a love/hate relationship for me. For Mr.
Gould I reckon the interest in controversial people like Richard Wagner and
Richard Strauss was primarily musical and compositoral (if such a word exists,
you know what I mean). Should one seperate The Music from The Man in these cases
?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The passing of Lorin Mazael has not been mentioned here and because at
times I do like Wagner, but can’t stand the singing for the life of me (the
words don’t make any sense even for german speakers and the plots are just
loony, not to mention the sheer length) I give you The Ring Without Words:</DIV>

just did my “ice bucket challenge”. I nominated Glenn Gould. All my kids groaned
(they actually think he’s dead, silly kids). Tchoh.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Bob, Bob, Bob… do you honestly think the lack of four hands would slow down
our Glenn?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We only have to look at his Wagnerian masterpieces (yes that’s right, I
said masterpieces) to see What Glenn Would Do when he needed extra hands -
simply dub them in! Splice, tape, glue, rewind… (or I suppose now it would be
Click, Click, Click, Print…). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I forget his exact quote - something like writing like Wagner would have
written for piano, if Wagner knew how to write for piano. Ah, time for a browse
through the GG Reader I think…</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On the obligatory off-topic note, I heard the Schnittke old-style piano
suite (I believe) this morning on Sirius. What a wonderful piece - does anyone
have more info? Has anyone played it? Wikipedia says his music is polystylist -
whatever that means. Huh. </DIV>

<DIV>P.S. Hope all is well in Vleeptron.</DIV>
