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...
:55:01
but really wasn't technology
just a reason...
:55:03
or a way for him
to keep the world at arm's length?
:55:05
lt's just a big smoke screen
isn't it?
:55:06
Let me ask you this:
:55:09
What is Glenn Gould really like
when he's not in the studio?
:55:13
l mean what do you like to do when
you're outside of a recording booth?
:55:18
What kind of lifestyle do you lead?
:55:21
Mr. Gould you are a perfectionist
when it comes to recording.
:55:25
So why is it when you are recording
you place little importance...
:55:28
on whether you have a piano with
noisy works or a chair that squeaks?
:55:32
Why when you seem obsessed
with this idea of musical perfection...
:55:35
do you hum as you play?
:55:39
Well--
:55:46
l forgot the question.
:55:48
l mean what aspect of your life...
:55:52
has nothing to do...
:55:54
with-- with-with...
:55:58
anything that has to do with...
