Alex Ross is the greatest, and I'll be scooping up his new book "Listen to This" as soon as its available, but the circled bit above raised my eyebrows. [copied from the Amazon preview, Ch3. p.59] Glenn Gould could eat that little keyboard solo for breakfast, as could just about any decent pianist. Honestly, I've always thought that solo and that song are overrated, but the Gould who could do this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjbNPD9atGw would hardly have to sweat playing that passage at that speed - he could probably even make it sound that tinny if he wanted to.
