A CONTAPUNTAL REVIEW

-------------------------------

Coda

 

The great Goldberg Variations of Bach circle around to a repeat of the main theme. So too this review should circle around back to Kevin Bazzana's excellent book. Glenn Gould was a mysterious creator. Kevin Bazzana has illuminated the mystery, brought into the light some of the dark secrets and told the story very well. What is interesting is that for all of the solutions to the various mysteries, Glenn Gould still remains magic.
