It’s not just Glenn Gould that’s for sale
mainThe NY Times is acting as shill for Bonham’s coming sale of Glenn Gould’s much-decorated copy of Bach’s Goldberg Variations. Tim Page has authenticated the manuscript.
I know a lot of people who will be more impressed by another item at the same auction house a few days earlier – an unknown Schumann draft of Fantasiestücke.
Seriously interesting.
So it’s a “manuscript” and a “copy”?
Presumably the manuscript element consists of the grunts, groans and semi-improvised counter-melodies singularly lacking in the 1741 print.
It is not a manuscript ,to tout it as such is deplorable .How people debase themselves for a buck !
