<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face=Arial><span style='font-size:14.0pt'> A
clarification, in response to Barbara Stagno’s question: It is correct
that Gould’s surviving scores are almost devoid of fingering; this was
apparently a matter he left largely to intuition. The fingerings in Nicholas
Hopkins’s new Goldberg edition do not derive from Gould’s scores
(which Hopkins studied) but from Monsaingeon’s film; they record the
fingerings Gould used in that film, to the extent that they can be determined. (Of
course, in the film, his hands are not always visible, so fingerings appear only
sporadically in Hopkins’s edition.) Anyway, there is no evidence that
Gould planned his fingerings in advance for the 1981 Goldberg interpretation, and
this is consistent with his lifelong practice. Kevin Bazzana<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
