Re: JCO: Glenn Gould

Hi, Randy.  Well, it's not "Nightmusic" -- that's Mozart.  The trespassing composer in the novel Nemesis resembles Ned Rorem.  Let's see...I would guess the guest genius at a Buffalo conservatory, Breuer, in the the story "Premature Autobiography" (The Goddess & Other Women).  As a little intellectual foreplay, he tells the young heroine to "Talk to me on the piano." I don't know enough about Glenn Gould to say for sure.  What do you think?

Hi All,

Here's a query for you: does anyone recall a JCO story or character that was directly or indirectly inspired by the pianist Glenn Gould? An encyclopedia entry suggests there is such a story, but does not give any further clue.

Thanks

Randy
