Glenn was a child who knew his own mind — he liked boats but
did not like fishing; he enjoyed puns and pranks but did not
like bullying; he loved learning but did not like school … but
more than anything else he loved to play the piano.
Glenn had a professional performing career by the time he was
fifteen; he gave concerts all over the world in his twenties.
He became best known for his interpretation of Bach’s Goldberg
Variations. But Glenn grew to dislike concerts — the hall was
too cold, or he didn’t feel well, or the audience made too much
noise (he didn’t even like their applause!). He discovered that
when he played and recorded music in an empty concert hall, he
could make it sound exactly the way he wanted. He could do what
he loved best, while being completely himself.
Sarah Ellis’s beautifully written portrait of Glenn Gould is
complemented by Nancy Vo’s gorgeous illustrations, bringing the
life and times of this extraordinarily talented musician to
readers young and old.
Book, 40 pages.
