Primary Sources and Oral Histories
The most important collection of primary-source material related to Glenn Gould and CD 318 resides in the Glenn Gould Archive, archival fond MUS 109 in the Music Division of the Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa. The archive maintains an exhaustive and highly searchable online database (www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/glenngould/), which pointed me to all mentions of CD 318 in the archive. In Ottawa, I followed up on those leads and perused thousands of Gould’s letters, notepads, and diaries; there I also viewed outtakes from the 1981 Goldberg Variations sessions and listened to several tape recordings of Gould trying out different pianos. Permission to quote from Gould’s correspondence and journals comes from the Glenn Gould Estate.
Interviews with Henry Z. Steinway were conducted in person and by telephone. I also used an interview he gave to the Yale University Oral History, American Music project in 1978. From that collection, called the Steinway Project, I also consulted interviews conducted with William Hupfer, Rosalyn Tureck, Winston Fitzgerald, Gary Graffman, David Rubin, and Franz Mohr.
Another rich and important trove of oral histories resides in the Steinway Collection at the LaGuardia and Wagner Archives at La-Guardia Community College, CUNY. Several of the people interviewed were workers in the Steinway factory in the 1940s, when CD 318 was being built. The interviews consulted from that collection include those with Walter Drasche and Joe and Ralph Bisceglie.
Information about the completion and distribution of pianos built just before and just after CD 318 was provided by Roy Kehl and Tali Mahanor.
