A Romance on Three Legs: Glenn Gould's Obsessive Quest for the Perfect Piano Book

â??When Gould was paired with the right composerâ?¦he could make you wonder if he was altogether human. And reading Hafner on Gould is sometimes as much fun as listening to him play. And thatâ??s saying a lot.â?â??Newsweek Hugely talented and famously eccentric, pianist Glenn Gould fought a running battle with a long list of lessthan- perfect pianos.
