Comments Glenn Gould once said that "the two most important things for a pianist are a good memory and the possession of perfect pitch." [Unfortunately I am unable to retrieve the source of this statement - Ed.]

"In Baker's Biographical Dictionary, Nicolas Slonimsky lists Gould's full name as 'Glenn Herbert Gould'." [2]
