  1. Seine Hände so weiß – Von Renatus Deckert

    Über Noten und Fäuste, ein Stück Kohle zur Klavierstunde und das Stakkato hinter der Wand, über Arthur Rubinstein und ein Pogrom in den Straßen von Lodz

    Wann immer ich diese Klänge höre, muß ich daran denken, wie Glenn Gould vor jedem Konzert seine Hände in heißes Wasser tauchte. Diese großen, weißen Hände, die sein Kapital waren als Pianist – auch wenn er einmal sagte: „Klavier spielt man nicht mit den Händen, sondern mit dem Kopf.“ Aber er konnte ja nicht seinen Kopf in heißes Wasser halten. Eine halbe Minute vielleicht, aber nicht eine Viertelstunde.

    Glenn Gould, born in Toronto, was a Canadian pianist, writer, composer, and broadcaster! 🇨🇦 Renowned for his interpretations of Bach, Gould challenged conventional performance practices.

  10. Glenn Gould in slightly pedagogical mode, but inspired nonetheless, speaking on Arnold Schoenberg and his Suite for Piano op 25.

    Linking to this piece as a tribute to Belmont Music Publishers who lost their Schoenberg archive in the fires at Pacific Palisades.

  12. Concebimos la música clásica como algo fijo, inamovible; casi como grabada en piedra.

    Pero hay un pianista que se atrevió a hacer lo que quiso con ella.

    Y a día de hoy, aún no está claro si era un genio o un arrogante. O ambas cosas.

    Hoy, en #LaHistorietaMusical, Glenn Gould.

    This piece keeps me thinking. I got Arved Ashby's book from the library. A real find.

    Ashby on Gould: "An imaginative mind taking an example of common-practice music and teasing out its textual possibilities to extremes, risking incursions into the bizarre and the arbitrary, and testing the various prospects for coherent musical wholes that may or may not have anything to do with the composer’s thinking."

  14. « The justification of art is the internal combustion it ignites in the hearts of men and not its shallow, externalized, public manifestations. The purpose of art is not the release of a momentary ejection of adrenaline but is, rather, the gradual, lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity. »

    ― Glenn Gould
