The Eccentric Pianist: Glenn Gould in the Abstract
$1500
18"W x 26"L
Canada has produced some very "colourful" characters, one of them being renowned pianist Glenn Gould who became famous for his interpretations of classical music, particularly the works of J.S. Bach. But as much as this, he is remembered for his multifarious work including electronic media and radio documentaries, and for his eccentricities such as hypochondria and wearing an overcoat and gloves whenever he played. It takes all types to make a country, a world.
