This account of the compulsive search for a highly responsive concert piano by Canadian Glenn Gould combines the parallel histories of one of the most controversial and brilliant pianists of the last century and the instrument on which he played. Presents a biography of Gould, who was known for his quirks, and a history of the German-bred Steinway piano company. It also features the interaction between Gould and Charles Verne Edquist, his nearly blind piano tuner. 2008.
