GLENN GOULD LEAVES

As part of a tune (Autumn leaves) or as the keyword in the coarse rehearsal of his audacity (Lester Young´s ), the third person singular of this irregular verb has a long tradition in conveying almost any both permanent and unsteady shade of meaning (beg your pardon for the Benetian syntax). Glenn Gould´s humble humming all along the music satisfies both standards, not only managing to acquire a higher level of understability but also displaying a sophisticated farewell ceremony which leaves a Bachian scent hanging about by way of apology. Listening to Glenn leaning over the keyboard poses a timely question: is music the autumnal tube of time so long listened for?
