Thanks for "vocalese", which is very interesting. But in this context I had meant "vocalise", which is a classical music term meaning singing without words. I doubt that Gould's singing would merit the term "vocalese"--to me it sounds more like grunting than jazz!

== Article Incorrect About Date of Gould's Last Public Performance ==


The article inaccurately states that Gould's last public performance was in LA on April 10, 1964. This is not true. I and a friend attended a concert he gave in Fall, 1964 at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. I well remember his brilliant, idiosyncratic performance, which included loud humming and a low crouch over the keys. He stroked the keys as though in adoration, gloating over them. Of course he may also have continued to play publicly for some time after the Madison performance. ] (]) 15:50, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
So I propose that the text should read simply "the sound of his voice", which is what I put in the current rendering.

I found this schedule note in the Wisconsin State Journal, Sept. 20, 1964, page 50:
"On October 25 the music committee will sponsor a lecture-demonstration by the brilliant
young Canadian pianist, Glenn Gould. His topic will be, 'Music in the Soviet Union.'"
The Wisconsin State Journal for 25 October, 1964, page 23, states: "Today: Glenn Gould
lecture-demonstration, 3 p.m., Wisconsin Union Theater."
I remember this event as being far more demonstration than lecture! His gift was extraordinary,
and the experience of seeing him was something I never forgot.
