The Phonographer
Eisenberg, Evan | March 16, 1985 issue

The article discusses the book "The Glenn Gould Reader," edited by Tim Page. Glenn Gould, a musician and a writer, argues that when, everybody is an artist, the artist will be a nobody. Gould's records proved to that classical music was not all sentiment and decorum. It could be sharp-boned and lonely. Gould's writing has been ignored, possibly because mere performers are not supposed to have ideas. Gould was an odd apostle of phonography. Most of Gould's prose has the clarity and wit of his pianism.
