The Canadian National Library in Ottawa has opened an exhibit dedicated to one of Canada’s most noted musical sons--pianist Glenn Gould, who died in 1982 at age 50. The exhibit includes much of what Gould, a notorious eccentric and collector, kept stored in one room of his Toronto apartment. “(Gould) wrote everything down on pads. You can almost follow him through each day,” said Stephen Willis, head of the library’s music manuscript collection. The exhibit runs through mid-September. Among the highlights: A packing list reminding Gould to bring Valium and Librium for his nerves, a 1966 commentary for the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. which says, in red ball point, “Sometimes it seems to me that Mozart has had a rather better press than he deserves.”
