A stunningly intimate conversation between a world-weary Glenn Gould and the CBC's Vincent Tovell, conducted on 4 December 1959, two years after Gould's triumphant tour of the Soviet Union, five years prior to his final concert.
Who do we have to thank for this treasure? A native Torontonian, fellow Gouldian YouTuber who answered my call for the full version of Glenn Gould's Toronto and who threw this interview in as a bonus! We are forever in his debt.

The piece Gould plays around 4 minutes, is there a recording of it?

@Wormsie -- I think not. He's playing what seems to be an improvised piano transcription of his String Quartet Op. 1 (with vocal accompaniment). The actual quartet, of course, is available.
