Does anyone know why it says the performance was dedicated to author Thomas Mann? It is a perky tempo, and at a certain point, even the stones would sing. It left me in enough of a cozy state by the end that I was quite startled to hear his corny and loud german accent making a joke about the variations I just heard. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:large">What is he noodling on the piano while he is waiting to set up the interview, I wonder? I heard GG loved improvising, but I only got to hear snatches here and there on the programs. So this was a real treat to hear him play a little while. And I get to play that type of guessing game he liked on his birthday weekend. The interview is mostly about his composing plans.--ksenia</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:large"><br></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.kkicons.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">www.KKIcons.blogspot.com</a> At <b>KK Icons</b> Orthodox Iconography, my icons are traditionally drawn and freshly painted.<div><br></div><div>I also wrote the illustrated Glenn Gould Poetry Cycles.
