Glenn Gould on The Idea of North, Fugues, and Webern

Back


Glenn Gould discusses his radio documentary 'The Idea of North' -- drawing comparisons to Verdi's Falstaff, fugue writing, and Webern's tone rows -- and plays Webern's piano Variations (Opus 27). With Bruno Monsaingeon. I highly recommend trying out GG's multi-input listening technique next time you are in a restaurant or other such environment -- it's very fun to try to use just one's own ears to turn the various surrounding sounds (multiple conversations, television, etc) into a sort of musical texture.
