:53:01
Does it affect your dreams?
:53:04
Sure insofar as if there are
broadcasts on the hour...

:53:08
l will pick up the bulletins
and dream them...

:53:10
and in the morning if there's
a boat that's just gone down...

:53:14
l'll think "Gee that was on odd dream
about the Titanic l had last night."

:53:19
And l will have
of course gone through it.

:53:21
Maybe your feelings about solitude
come from your Nordic temperament.

:53:24
l think that's certainly part of it.
lt's always been an ambition of mine...

:53:28
which l'll probably
never get around to realizing...

:53:30
to spend at least one winter
north of the Arctic Circle.

:53:34
Anyone can go there in the summer
when the sun is up...

:53:36
but l want to go there
when the sun is down l really do...

:53:39
and so help me
l'm going to do it one of these times.

:53:43
l've been saying this
for five or six years now...

:53:45
and every year
the schedule gets in the way.

:53:48
Well l hope you do.
Thank you very much Mr. Gould.

:54:06
Mr. Gould thank you
for the interview yesterday.

:54:09
l would just like some
further clarification if l may.

:54:12
That's good. Where am l?
:54:16
Okay here we are.
:54:18
Now if it's really true
that you attach little importance...

:54:21
to the actual technique
of playing the piano...

:54:23
how is it that you have managed
to attain such a level of skill at it?

:54:27
Well that is to say
don't you think it's depressing...

:54:29
for all the young pianists
of the world to know this?

:54:38
l really want to thank you
from the bottom of my heart...

:54:40
for arranging for me to have
this chance to interview you finally.

:54:45
And before we begin the interview...
:54:47
l also want to give you
a great big thank you...

:54:50
on behalf of all of our readers.
:54:52
These are tough questions.
They're gonna come up.

:54:54
People are gonna watch the play.
They're gonna ask me.

:54:57
Glenn Gould is apparently incredibly
interested in technology...
