Glenn Gould, and a chair

Don't fuck with the chair.

By the way: attributing Asperger's Syndrome to Gould is a bit irresponsible. At the rate things are going all harmless habits, idiosyncratic behaviors, and human innovations will be diagnosed "syndromes" and mistaken for psychological maladies for which cures must somehow be found. Then we start de-evolving. Some genius should i.d. an illness whose symptoms are tasteless greed, ripping-off/ plundering of the base wealth of entire nations, and irreversible wholesale destruction of the wilderness.

Not a joke

Does he actually perform with that chair or is this a joke?

First few chords of the sarabande from partita 6

"Oh, much closer actually...."

No kidding!

His centre of gravity was residing in his perineum as it perched on the exposed middle strut of the cushion-less chair.

Glenn Gould's original chair and CD 318 Steinway grand piano are alive and well and residing at the NAC in Ottawa

That legendary chair could not have been too comfortable to sit on. It's the thong of chairs.

[DrumTchr]

[MrPhilag3]

I guess it's the first mvt of one the 6 first Partitas from Bach, should be the sixth my friend. Can't remember though used to play it...

[mysterypolice]

And still, NOBODY has asked what song he's playing at the BEGINNING of the video? What is it????

[ViAaRo]

I hope this was all a joke and that person didnt actually disrespect his chair. I find the story behind the chair moving and beautiful.
