There were 4 readings at the beginning of the exam about the late pianist Glenn Gould, which was, you could say, the perfect sort of thing for me. It was very interesting to read about him, and I actually read through the whole of the excerpts instead of just skimming for the answers to the questions. But anyway, I was finished the exam in one hour (out of the 3 that we were allowed) and was the first person to leave as soon as we were allowed to (after the first hour).

And then later, when other people were starting to come out, I overheard some kids saying "what was it with all of those readings about that f*cking pianist?!" and I seriously think that if I hear someone say that one more time, I'm going to explode. Maybe some people just don't know how to appreciate real music instead of wannabe music. Meh.

EXACTLY!! I have some of his CDs, they're really cool - in fact I have one of him playing those Goldberg Variations...

Oh and I think also I have him playing the Bach Sinfoniae and the 'Emperor' concerto by Beethoven.

Cool! Yeah, I have some of his CD's too. One time there was a biography of him on TV and we taped it. It had a lot about his Russia debut; it's really amazing.
