Correct me if I'm wrong and that happens quite often but there has been a lot of talk over the years, lots of years, about GG's idea of a "kit". A fit kit for each mélomane/music lover to be able to choose/mix their own preferred version(s) from alternative
performances of any piece of recorded music. Uhm, I think that's what GG meant. <br>

Lots of vague assumptions/declarations that internet/youtube would prove GG 'correct' have been postulated by many but I saw not a whit of what GG actually meant (what I think he meant) until now:

Please do listen to the interview before you listen to his French Suite 4 "kit". He really has done it, he has realized to the 'writ' what GG would have done had he been able to at the time. Can you imagine Columbia Masterworks pressing albums: "Glenn Gould
Gives You 4 for 1"? "Glenn Gould Gives You More Bach Than Any Other Artist"?</div>
