"I tend to follow a very nocturnal sort of existence mainly because I don't much care for sunlight. Bright colors of any kind depress me, in fact. And my moods are more or less inversely related to the clarity of the sky, on any given day.... my private motto has always been that behind every silver lining there is a cloud." - Glenn Gould

✨ Classical Music Month Spotlight ✨ Glenn Gould on "Bach: The Goldberg Variations"
For Glenn Gould, no composer loomed larger than Johann Sebastian Bach. Gould admired the mathematical precision, emotional depth, and spiritual clarity woven into Bach’s music, calling it the perfect union of intellect and beauty.
Bach wasn’t just a composer to Glenn, he was the guiding light of the genre. It’s no wonder the Goldberg Variations became such an essential part of Gould’s story.

Glenn Gould's last interview for the Rolling Stone, came out in August 1974 (51 years ago this month)...
"I was recently talking to a group of educators about the problems concerning the teaching of pianists in institutionalized technical “factories.” You see, I think there’s a fallacy that’s been concocted by the music teachers’ profession, to wit: that there’s a certain sequence of events necessary in order to have the revealed truth about the way one produces a given effect on a given instrument." - Glenn Gould for Rolling Stone
