51 minutes 15 seconds

Today I listened to Glenn Gould play all of Bach’s Goldberg Variations, all 51 minutes and 15 seconds of it. This was some kind of Leap Day treat by the radio host but I’m not really sure why because neither Gould nor Bach were born on February 29.
And although I have listened to this music many times I never realized how much Glenn Gould hummed while he was playing. I kept looking behind me to see who was in the back seat until I realized it was the pianist himself. You can listen to an excerpt here.
Really striking Shari, I love all the subtle contrasts on the building walls.
Gould humming in your back seat would be a treat. =)
Thanks Karen. I take it you are fan of Gould as well.
You have probably covered this already, but I would love to know what you take with you on your painting trips. You finds ouch beauty in ordinary things. An inspiration.

Hi Joan,
I will reply to your question on the blog because I think everyone would like to hear the answer.
So nice to hear from you!

A friend here in Portland tipped me off to your blog. I’m an immediate fan!
Thanks Carrie. Are you a sketcher? I may be giving a workshop in Portland this summer.
