A dream of Glenn Gould 🙃
Conversations with Glenn Gould : https://archive.org/details/conversationswit0000unse_n4w8 A number of pianists have talked about their anxiety dreams in which they continually saw themselves walking out onstage naked or sitting down to find themselves unable to play, like Sparky and his Magic Piano, which refused to perform at the necessary time. "I only have one dream of that kind, which one would think would have abated the moment I stopped giving concerts, but it didn't. I simply transferred it to other media, and I now have it in relation to recording sessions. The dream always makes me aware of the fact that the repertoire that I think I'm doing is not the repertoire I'm really doing. Now in order to make that practical it's never therefore a solo performance; it's usually an orchestral recording, and I've had many variations on this dream." 🙃 https://www.ganjingworld.com/s/O2Jbb1XBYv
