Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Brilliant recluse: Canadian cultural hero Glenn Gould thrilled millions with concert performances of Bach's works, but at the height of his career in 1964 abandoned the concert stage, saying he disliked the glamor, travel and constant public exposure. On Sept. 27 he suffered a stroke.
